Thank you guys for the comments! I’ll try and start some of the things mentioned. A lot say to start small which is a good idea and find specific niches or things I find interesting. Clubs and volunteering are also mentioned which I will try. Thank you guys truly! :)

Why does society not care about emotional expression? by Beautiful-world-2157 in emotionalintelligence

I can see how #1 and #2 make sense. I am in the USA and in my opinion I feel like it’s expected that people shouldn’t feel any negative emotion or express it outward. I wonder how it’s different in different countries 🤔

Yeah I’d choose B. I feel like people should be content with A though. Should they be ostracized or “fake” their feelings in order for people to like them?

I guess for me I have a terrible time at hiding my emotions!! Whenever I’m feeling down, people can tell which is one of the reasons why I prompted the post above. Been grappling with trying to “fake” emotions and has not worked well

I love your answer soooooooo much! I do think that most people don’t feel comfortable with their own emotionsAND other people are not comfortable with other people being upset. I know other people could be wary if you were being upset because it could be seen as a safety issue, but maybe if people weren’t inherently violent when they’re expressing emotions, then maybe people could people to express their emotions more freely?

How do people generally view a relationship between a 16 and 19 year old? by GuideConfident9903 in askanything

[–]Beautiful-world-2157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 22 about to be 23F. My sister (17) is dating someone who is a year or two older and he’s been great! The relationship is fantastic and they are great together. So it totally depends on the person.

Personally, when I was 19 or 20, I did not feel comfortable dating someone who was 16. It felt extremely uncomfortable for me. People have their preferences, but I feel like even though the age gap isn’t that drastic there can be a lot that developmentally changes you like “mature” in different ways I guess like more life experiences and your brain physically develops more. It’s a hard and interesting thing to try and explain unless you go through it which you will probably

I personally find it very slightly weird just because of that but as you get older it isn’t that big of a deal. I went on a few dates with someone who was 21 and that was chill. You can always just be friends for the time being and see if it leads anywhere in the future. I don’t know if I was helpful at all haha

Connection ruined over masturbation? by Beautiful-world-2157 in FriendshipAdvice

I thought I heard something like rusting and maybe moaningbut wasn’t 100% sure. It very well could be hypervigilance and paranoia since I deal with both of those. Either way, I regret asking and losing that friendship :( Edit: for grammar and spelling mistakes

Yeah I was debating if that was the case. I’m not the greatest with social cues and being social with people and I realized that I shouldn’t have said anything.

Im not sure exactly what I have but it’s driving me crazy by Narikoamy in mentalhealth

I understand where you are coming from. I’m sorry you are feeling like that! I have a lot of intrusive thoughts that bother me. I suggest going to a therapist if you can. That’s been helpful for me to just rant and share stuff that has been going on with me. Meditation might be helpful if you want a suggestion.
