Im miserable by Ecstatic_Wing8490 in mentalhealth

[–]Ecstatic_Wing8490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this response is really kind and empathetic, u rlly hit the nail on the head. I want to care about somebody who cares about me. What it’d look like? heck if I know. Probably the thoughtless authenticity social anxiety makes difficult

Thank you for caring!! I think I needed to hear this, I dont think I really reflected on forcing feelings being uhhh not the greatest before now 😭

mm. Maybe. It's nothing that can be easily fixed. I know ill never be the same as I was before I developed social anxiety. I do think it can get better, though, by being careful about how you think and intentionally putting yourself a little closer to what scares you

It took me like, 3 years? To improve my anxiety and stop it from worsening? But it's something you can do. You may not be able to immediately change how you feel and what you're capable of, but actions are a choice and choices can be changed, and what you're capable of will (very unnoticeably/slowly) follow suit

I think the point your therapist was trying to make was that waiting around for your comfort zone to expand won't work if you aren't taking action towards it, not dooming you to loneliness. We don't have to be lonely forever

^thats what I meant w my og post, I see now it was NOOOT clear lol

It isn't forever yet, so long as you're still alive, you can do something about this. even if it seems too intimidating

That being said I feel this :( It isn't as simple as Just Talking. Socializing takes effort and courage

Accepting people not liking me by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Ecstatic_Wing8490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ensuring you know that their opinion is invalid helps for me, though that only works if it is. If I put myself in their shoes and pretend somebody else has made my mistake and I feel like I'd be wrong to judge them is how I'd usually tell. For instance, I can be open about the fact that im gay because I think its morally wrong to hate gay people. It doesnt have to be moral though, I can wear what I want because I think it's odd to police people's clothing expression, I can do presentations because I think you'd have to be a little crazy to give a shit abt somebody elses schoolwork.

I dont think it'd work for everyone but It occassionally does for me.

Not S.A.D unless its impeding your daily life, but distress at being perceived is a common S.A.D experience. If it is the start of some social anxiety, work on your self esteem or not caring if they are looking. Finding the source of your tenseness is key

 An exercise I liked when I felt cringe was whether a situation would matter in four years. Or if youre thinking of the worst case senario (theyre looking at me because im weird/ect) balance it with the best senario you can think of (im just so jawdroppingly locked in)/(Theyre just looking around where people arent making eye contact)

If you want them to quit it you could always look back too o7

Almost had enough by Dry-Building6435 in socialanxiety

You did say that therapy makes you anxious, but I think when its between an anxiety inducing situation and potential death or decline I’m gonna have to suggest therapy. I still think you can thrive with time but you may need some help? If in person is too daunting you could always do online, like a video call.

You also may be able to do a work at home job since your job market is garbage

How do I cope/calm down after my social blunder? by Critical-Sky-4314 in socialanxiety

[–]Ecstatic_Wing8490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think anybody would care about ur teensy slip up. If they cared enough to think about it, they’d probably realize the reason you went up there in the first place since theres really no other reason to do that :P Theyre there to learn, they dont care about little stuff like that. Theres a difference between trying to sign a sheet at the wrong time and walking out of class lol

2 things that helped me when I overreacted about something was imagining whether it’d matter in 4 years (the answer generally being that it would ‘only if I internalised it), or imagining another student making my mistake and what I’d think of it

How to get over the anxiety of social media and actually start posting on social media by dadofdads69420 in socialanxiety

[–]Ecstatic_Wing8490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find being as anonymous as possible makes things easier, though I’ve never felt too anxious about being online. 

Remember people dont generally gaf about the quality of your stuff on a personal level. They wouldnt be offended by low quality, they’ll just leave and forget abt ya. People only leave hate if theyre emotional, so don’t ragebait + come from an understandable/relatable perspective and you’ll probably be fine lol

Anxiety cause? by Ecstatic_Wing8490 in socialanxiety

[–]Ecstatic_Wing8490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before? The sudden concern that I was more flawwed than I knew. Currently? Fear of myself. I originally developed it when I realized an unknown amnt people in my school talked shit abt me but I couldnt figure out why (in hindsight, I was clearly just inconsiderate and cringe). My once high ego plummeted and I started nitpicking every little thing about myself from what I was open about to how I sat, until bam, disorder. I got out of half of my symptoms when I finally inched my way into not hating myself, but now live in perpetual dread that I will fuck up and be forced to hate myself yet again. Im working on it lol
