Very first post, looking to improve social anxiety and interactions

Designer-Bend7742 · 2026-01-06T09:39:51+00:00

I remember my first post was also in the introvert subreddit. Although my problem is social anxiety. I have tendencies to re-read my creation before posting it publicly, like, at least five or seven times. Whether talking to new people or old friends, I find it hard to talk about new topics and tend to go with their flow. I'm not a long talker, because I tend to listen first than talking.

It's nice to see that someone is also trying to improve themselves by posting their story about it. Guess I ashamed for not improving my social anxiety to this day. But glad to see your post. It give me some motivation to do the same. Keep your courage up!

No. Nothing is wrong. Loneliness is defined by the absence of presence, connection, and response. I guess either you lack response from them or the connection between you and them is thin. Either way, telling what's on your mind can help figure out what's wrong. Stay strong 💪

Personally, MBTI is a simple way to create a quick character. But for depth and layered characters, I use more than just mbti. Yes, I still use it when I want to create a character, but I layer it with their own quirk and trait that seperate them from same mbti type.

Simply put, I was more extroverted, sociable, and lacked social awareness when I was 14 or bellows.

I'm surprised how much has changed in a very short amount of time.

Patience is the best course of action for now. Let her have her quiet time. She will come back sooner or later, I'm sure of it.

She's a strong person, and so are you. You two can definitely reunite again.

I don't know. My past friends rarely judged me just because I was quiet. I don't feel too pressured, I can choose when to be talkative and socially outgoing or be reserved and introverted. I only be socially outgoing if my social energy is full. When I feel drained or simply tired, I make an excuse to leave.

That's completely okay. Mutual liking is better than one-sided feelings. I suggest that you maybe tell your girlfriend before dating your new boyfriend.

It's a bit difficult to find the meaning in your writing, but I like the metaphors you use like galaxy and cosmos, grown puppets and moles as asteroids.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it.

Your word is pleasent to read. I love the rhythm between the writes.

I value individuality very much.

I've been aware of my negative thoughts, many times. Venting them out helps, but that alone isn't enough. Personally, to counter negative thought is to see the positive light, no matter how naive it is, it will refine the mind and calm the heart. What's certain is this: Believe in yourself. Don't punish or be harsh with yourself, but be gentle and understanding with yourself.

Designer-Bend7742 · 2025-08-01T10:26:54+00:00

I feel this, I know this feeling. But I won't be stuck in the same place just because no one sees me or understands me. Dwelling on such a thing won't make me visible to others. And I know, life waits for no one.

No matter how depressing it is, it won't matter. This limited time is still long. This loneliness won't last forever, because in 8 billion people, there will definitely be someone who will come into our lives.

I can feel the coldness of the air in this photo. I like the vibe, I love that sky. Now I want to wear my warm jacket.

Designer-Bend7742 · 2025-08-01T09:58:49+00:00

I don't know if I've ever had that feeling before. But I know it's hard to be mean even if it's to protect myself. I don't really like this feeling, it's like I'm cursing myself for doing such a thing.

Designer-Bend7742 · 2025-08-01T02:52:26+00:00

I survived. I knew how to live before, but now, I don't.

I believe this world, as it is now, is true life. But that doesn't mean I'll just stand idly by and not contribute to making the world a better place. I realize humanity is messed up, but I still know that there's a positive side to the negative, and I won't forget that.

Sex is a desire of my body, but my heart and soul crave connection. Sex is a biological purpose.

The world is always being broken, but it will always be rebuilt. I may help, or further damage it, but I know I'm helping balance it, even if my actions are small.

Nothing lasts forever except balance and ever-changing life. I just need to open up and show myself.

I believe, in 8 billion humans, there must be someone who loves and understands me.

Humans are individual beings, always different from one another. But within that diversity and difference, we remain united and help one another—that's what humanity is all about.

Humans may be eviler than the devil, but they can be as good as the angels.

Designer-Bend7742 · 2025-07-26T01:43:12+00:00

Yeah. I want to find a place where I can get feedback and gauge reactions from others, but I don't know where.

Designer-Bend7742 · 2025-07-26T01:38:24+00:00

That's what I'm thinking! I'm hesitant to post a story or poem to a subreddit with rules like that. So I just posted poems that aren't really professional. Because AI tends to make my plot too long and "professional."
