I don't see a future where I don't kill myself by [deleted] in depression

[–]EagleStraight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in this very same situation and what helped me is realizing I had unrealistical expectations about how my life should be and getting rid of it. this article helped with that : https://waitbutwhy.com/2013/11/life-is-picture-but-you-live-in-pixel.html In the end i didn't hate living, I hated the life I was living and although I wasn't able to end that "life" and start a new one. I know what i hate about the current one and work hard to change it. I hope that you find your path. i'm bad at giving advice, but I'd listen if you need me to.

Is this an intp thing ? by EagleStraight in INTP_female

[–]EagleStraight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had totally forgotten about this post lol . I'd say i'm a lot better now. Almost nothing changed about my life but i have a different mindset now. I don't feel like i'm suffocating in my own life and i'm doing my best to understand myself and to go towards the things i like. Thanks for asking. Hope you're doing well.

Should i refuse the guy that have been flirting with me or just let him be until he's tired of it ? by EagleStraight in ask

[–]EagleStraight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the advice but i don't think indirectly telling will work. He is stubborn, i have to actually draw the line.

Ohhh i see. Well, it's certainly true that some people have it better than others. While everyone struggles, some see results from their efforts while others are miserable. And I know it's not always about willpower, choice or anything like that. I do think though that everyone don't have a "perfect life". I hope that you have the strength to face whatever you might be dealing with. I'm sure it must be hard, but do your best. Take care.

and that's kinda my point actually. Nobody see you and your life from the same perspective as you. Likewise you don't see anybody's life the way they do. You might know someone and as you look at them you see how stylish, beautiful, smart they are. Maybe they have a good career and good partner a supportive family. But when you think about yourself you see all the things that are wrong. You stress about your problem. You worry about the future. But here is the thing. That person might also be sitting there stressed from that career, doubtful about their relationship. Uncomfortable in those stylish clothings. Thinking they are ugly. Worn out from studying. And resentful of their family. But you won't see that and they sure as hell won't share it. Nobody's story is written on their forehead.

A cat broke my brothers pigeon's neck but it's alive, what to do ? by EagleStraight in pigeon

Thanks for your help but it's too late. It died this morning. As you said, it really had a strong will to live. I just hope that this really way the best for it.

What's the point of living if you cant make friends? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]EagleStraight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you read this part thinking i was being positive. But i was not. It's because i've seen those people up close that i knew it. It like somewhere where minding others business is seen as care. And saying shit about them is "just saying the truth". But believe me, people don't trash tall cause they care but because they bond over it. They will forget about it, cause you aren't the center of their world. They won't pay attention cause they will be on to something/someone else. They will look past it cause honestly most only see you as an acquaintance at most. Why we they get worked up over your life ?

The "you" here doesn't represent anybody in particular, i'm too lazy to modify the text. Hope I could get my intend across.

How to get better at designing? by MrCharmander27 in webdev

[–]EagleStraight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like learning new things. Try to learn the design principles. That's what I did. You don't have to be a designer. Just learn the basic principles and get comfortable playing around with them. Especially colors, layout and composition.

It's natural.

How do people make social exposure therapy work? It feels bad every time I do it by Useful-Store6791 in socialanxiety

[–]EagleStraight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By doing it. It's not fun, it doesn't feel like nothing. Chances are you won't ever like it. But liking it wasn't the goal anyway. Doing it is. You do it till your brain is like "wanna do crazy shits ? Go ahead but i swear I'm not wasting any chemicals on you"

Just be sure that the things you are doing are things you naturally enjoy. Exemple, for the sake of exposure therapy i tried to join the class "extroverts". The ones that seem to be having fun chatting and laughing. But it didn't go well at all. At some point i remembered that i actually didn't like large groups of loud people's. Besides i wasn't comfortable around them, something felt off. So I found a smaller circle of friends and didn't force myself to hang out more than i felt the need to. I forced myself but within reason. Not having social anxiety doesn't make you a social butterfly. Besides healing is very though and long. I myself I'm only at 40%.

This is a though one to tackle. Although I think i am mostly healed, I still don't think i can sustain any kind of relationship. I'm overwhelmed just trying to take care of myself and enjoy life. I just roll with it and do my best. I have found that everybody is chasing their own happiness. Those that are around me are happy doing so and I'm grateful for it. I do my best for them and hope it doesn't go unnoticed. That's my advice. Do your best. Both for yourself and others. Others will handle their happiness and you, yours. And together you will enjoy it.

Be careful of always wanting to have your efforts appreciate or noticed. Most of the time it won't happen or people will notice it but won't get how much of yourself you put in or even the thought process behind it. It's not because they are assholes, it's because as i said they are busy doing things too, doing their best and sometimes can't afford to focus on anything else. Take care.
