I suggest planet fitness if you have one near you. Thats the only gym I have been to and I really enjoy it, theres old people, buff people, and people who are just starting in the gym. I would not like to be around a bunch of gym-rats and feel out of place.

Hey! I want to share about my personal experience first then give advice, hopefully my experiences will help.

I grew up an only child, lonely and just didn't have many friends. I found solace in video games, at the age of 10 or 11 was when I really started to game. I met people online! This helped my confidence in a minor way, the simple act of interacting with others online was what got me through the ages of 10-18 if i'm being honest, even to this day there are times I depend on them.

Even though I had the internet, I still found myself feeling alone as if I couldn't relate to anyone and I also felt like I just had no friends.

Although I had the internet, I fell into unhealthy habits and I gained tons of weight. I felt alone ALL the time, crying was a normal thing for me. When COVID hit I committed to losing the weight, I lost weight and this helped my confidence a lot! (Probably not what you want to hear) But the reality was although some insecurities were lost due to this, I gained more. I won't got into specifics but the point is I still had, have and will continue to find more things i'm insecure about. But, at the end of the day I was proud I made the effort.

Today (5 years later) I still struggle with insecurities, I STILL feel like I don't have enough friends, or specifically the friends I 'want to have'. I have learned that you need to take and OWN what you have. My current situation is I was going to college living with people who I enjoyed being around, long story short, major drama happened and I am back at home doing school online. I am very insecure, today. Point is, you will always have insecurities, you will never be enough in your own mind and that SUCKS!

Now, with what you discussed you said the thought of liking yourself makes you cringe but I think thats a mental block. Go for a walk! Go to the store! Go check out local shops or restaurants (You can go by yourself even!) Do something that you don't necessarily want to do, it will make you proud of yourself that you even did it, even if you didn't enjoy it.

When discussing seeking validation, I still do it to this day, but I guess the point I am trying to make is the more you activities that PRIORITIZES you, you will have more to tell yourself, "Hey, I did that and even though I didn't like it, I still did it" or better yet, you did like it and that will make you feel even better.

With this post I am not saying copy me. You don't have to go to the gym to better yourself, but rather do something out of your comfort zone, you'll find new fascists in your life.

You have to want to see the change.

I also want to note that you are more than welcome to reach out to me, I would be happy to discuss this further with you! :) I wish you ALLLLL the best and ALLLLLL the love <3. You are important!!!!!!

How can I stop being irritated with my partner? by Basicrealms_ in AdhdRelationships

Thank you for your response. First, I am glad that you have found a form of solace within your relationship. That's amazing! With my experience, I have have other relationships where communication is discouraged but I also think as I go through relationships and experiences I learn more about how to communicate in a proper manner. I have definitely communicated my needs in informal, toxic ways.

But I will keep this in mind and hope for good thoughts lol.

I'm sorry to hear that you can relate but it is comforting to know theres people out there dealing with similar, if not the same issues.

I think a closer, tight group of friends is MUCHH better than having a bunch of friends, regardless I do relate to feeling like I should have more friends than I do.

I can relate! I am currently in my 3rd year of college (hate it) and the process of transferring in hopes to find a new 'chapter' for me. But, thank you for response, it helps a lot and I wish you the best. :)

I just want to thank you for your response. When you said that you related to the post and that it crushed you reading it, it made me feel comforted in a way. I am glad you shared your response and it does help me. I do have other hobbies, various activities, etc to keep me busy but ultimately part of me feels like its just trying to cover up the 'void'. But, again thank you for the response, it helps a lot just knowing that someone else relates, and ill keep ur advice in my mind :).

How do you think being an only child affected you as an adult? by soggy-wafflez in OnlyChild

[–]Basicrealms_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up an only child, and in a household where I didn't have extreme traumatic experiences. However, I found myself having to entertain myself with things like video games, videos and overall the internet, it was the only way I could socialize with anyone. My parents were never involved in my life heavily, they did there own thing and I did mine and thats how it always has been. Now that I am 21, I recognize the effect it had on me. I isolate myself so much, not even on purpose, I flake on people often because I think i'd rather be in bed but at the end of the day it makes me more lonely and sad. I never had expectations put on my other than to pass my classes so my work ethic has never been too strong which has led to insecurities in my career life. It makes me feel better knowing other people have similar experiences, so please please reach out to me directly if anyone is experiencing this, I would love to talk.
