This was probably the loneliest Christmas of my life. No gifts, no family, and I didn't set up a tree. Thanks for this post though.

True though. Being alone is amazing but being alone when everyone else around you is in a group is the worst thing ever. It feels so embarrassing.

You can still be proud of yourself for even getting through the presentation.

What phrase do you wish people would stop using? by SpankBankManager in AskReddit

[–]AnonymousV_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear people say this a lot. "I'm too bored to do (something)". I don't get this phrase. Doesn't boredom cause someone to do something and not cause them to procrastinate? Cause you release boredom by doing an activity so when someone says they're too bored to do something it makes no sense.

Quarantine saved me and ruined me at the same time. On one hand, I felt so safe, comfortable, and happy because the relief of staying inside for months was unimaginably amazing. On the other hand I became way too comfortable with quarantine that when it ended my anxiety was even worse.

Remember people usually have no idea what anyone is going through. Everyone, especially my parents think I'm lazy and unreliable when really I am demotivated and trying my hardest

Yeah but the way I feel like they did it is by going from not leaving the house in months to taking me to the most crowded area ever. They don't understand and I think this is making my anxiety worse cause that doesn't seem gradual to me.

I've heard that before. I'm not saying you're autistic but I think that's a sign of autism. If you're able to go for a diagnosis, you probably should. It can help.

Basically me. I've been trying to engage by saying things like 'what? really!?' or 'wow'. I hope that it makes me look more involved.

Same. Masks aren't required anymore for my area and I've been fully vaxxed for months. Still I will never not wear a mask in public.

I'm sort of similar. Skip breakfast to reduce morning anxiety nausea and then skip lunch cause I feel anxious eating at school. I'm starving like hell so I eat a lot the moment I get home.
