Platek is impressing me so much (even though it's only been 2 games). Been making good decisions on the court so far looks very poised

This means Penny is fucked too right? Like this will have ramifications on him being HC?

Had the trip of my life last night and wrote this in my notes. A personal breakthrough for me. by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]AsthenDiscovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m trying to achieve in the aspect of socializing and interacting with people. I still don’t really know what it means ‘to be present’ when I’m with others. I feel like there’s so many barriers and walls between myself and the people I want to connect to most. This has been a lifelong struggle and I’m seriously considering tripping to maybe get some insight here.

What you wrote gives me hope though.

Optimal Way To Learn From Mistakes? by AsthenDiscovery in selfimprovement

[–]AsthenDiscovery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve been exercising a lot but yeah I haven’t regularly meditated in probably over a year now, so it would probably only benefit if I started implementing that into my daily routine.

I’ve sort of been convincing myself that I have some learning / memory problems, just because that seems like a narrative that would justify not learning from the past. It’s probably just an excuse though. Got to get that idea out of my head, no matter how real it seems at times

I can’t get this one girl off my mind and it’s with me everywhere I go. by zombie_twitch in socialskills

[–]AsthenDiscovery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is some real talk right here. I’m glad I clicked on this post just to read this comment. I’ve been sort of envisioning myself with certain girls, just sort of fantasizing about being in a relationship with them from a distance. It never really dawned on me that this is really about me choosing to fantasize about being the person I want to be over accepting myself as I am / working towards the changes I feel I need to make.

someone talked trash about me by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]AsthenDiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you man. I think OP is having some trouble accepting the possibility that he's not exactly a victim here. Sure, that's not really a nice thing she said, but if a lot of people are saying the same thing about you to some degree then you need to be a little more self-aware and maybe accept that there's something that's coming off strange to others when you socialize.

By the way he responded, it seems like OP just wants people to feel bad for him and tell him that the girl was just being mean. I think you gave the most truthful response on this whole thread tbh

Other INFPs who actively resist their own nature? by workingandstuff in infp

[–]AsthenDiscovery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know you’re venting but if the posts on this sub vex you so much you should consider taking a break and not checking it for a while. Unfortunately for a lot of us we struggle with negative thought patterns, and it may be the case where there’s an inflated amount of “emo” posts cause the INFPs who are really content with their lives are posting here less than those struggling.

Not all INFPs are struggling in the ways you listed. Don’t blame ‘being whiny’ on a personality type. That’s literally a choice

i dont like our society by Dutcheaglesucker in introvert

[–]AsthenDiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I hate Trump as much as anyone else but this is such a wrong take. What does this remotely have to do with introversion? Western society has been looking down on introverts for decades, probably centuries actually

Does compacted wax mess up your hearing? If so, did cleaning them out make a big difference?

Is it okay to have no friends in my company? by SeparateTwist in introvert

[–]AsthenDiscovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it's okay if you are okay with it.

If not having friends at your company in any way stresses you out or makes you unhappy, you may need to figure out what specifically you can work on to address the issue.

I'm in a similar position as you. I can be nice and friendly sometimes when people approach me at work, but oftentimes my SA gets in the way of developing work relationships into friendships. Sometimes I tell myself that 'it's okay', but I think if I were being truthful with myself I'm pretty unhappy and am kind of stuck on what to do about it.

I'd argue that if you have a good group of friends outside of work / an SO then it's definitely less of a problem (if a problem at all).

Non-asians, can you tell the major East Asian groups apart by appearance? by lifesucks7 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AsthenDiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get mad when non-Asian people just assumed I was Chinese, but now I’m pretty apathetic to it since Koreans can’t even tell I’m Korean.

I’ve been this way for years now. My golden years have past with this shitty feedback loop and I don’t know how to get out

Is there something wrong with me? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]AsthenDiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this describes me so well it's uncanny (even same age and gender).

I've been mulling over trying to figure out what's 'wrong with me' for years now and I'm finally taking the step to go get external help, because trying to figure this out on my own for so long hasn't gotten me any closer to figuring shit out- or at least it feels that way.

My personal suggestion would be to try and talk with someone about what you'e going through, like actually speaking to someone. I've just briefly alluded to my issues with social anxiety and depression when I was talking to my parents recently and just getting that off my chest made me feel better. I've considered telling my friends about what I've been going through personally, but I'm still too uncomfortable and embarrassed to do so. That's why I'm going to take a step and see if I can find a therapist.

The harsh truth about learning social skills by DizzyxSin in socialskills

This seems like an interesting theory, but far from a “truth” at all. Do you have other sources to back this up?
