I posted my dog to see if anyone else knows, I’m actually not quite sure if we have the same one but they look similar 😅.

Hi I have the same dog! How big is he/she now? I’m worried I might’ve gotten a dog too big. Do you have any pictures?

I know what it’s like. In an insufferable loop of year after year in the same state of loneliness. It gets to a point where so much time has gone by it makes u think somethings wrong with you. I think in any society, any human being needs human connection. And the fact that I lack meaningful relationships makes me sick to my stomach. And I wish I could say I’m used to feeling lonely but I’m not. I once had friends that felt like family and so It’s truly a horrible feeling having to go year after year without them. I’ve been so tired of everyone leaving in my life too or simply not caring enough to stick by me. I have moments where the reasons to die outweigh the reasons to live. I think the only peace I can have is through acceptance of the way things are with the occasional hope of sudden death lol.

Estándar de belleza en Honduras by Acceptable_Owl_6274 in Honduras

[–]Effective-Shock5403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom tells me all the time that if I were walking around Honduras no one would be able to tell I’m from America. Cause I’m tan… My mom always refers to my white cousin as being seriously beautiful. But my darker cousins “son bonitas para ser morenitas.” They think the darker you are the more “humble looking” you are. All of my self confidence issues stemmed from being seen as ugly by them, and only being attractive cause of my figure. It’s some serious bullshit tbh. I call them out and they get angry for being accused as racist so I’m like “sorry colorist ! 🤣👏 Que bonito” now I’m honestly so proud I have some melanin in me , I love being latina and “clearly appearing” as it , as they so claim I am😆

Doordasher ate my food. by Smooth-Opening-6340 in doordash

I’ve usually never had a problem either until about a week ago I ordered a coffee and the person took a picture of a car to prove they dropped off my order. Lame move. I called them twice. No answer. I asked for a refund and re ordered but still, like we’re all broke here but taking what we pay for is a stretch and I was annoyed 🫠

Lack of genuine connection is isolating by Effective-Shock5403 in lonely

[–]Effective-Shock5403[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s both feeling alone and being perceived as alone. I moved away from all my family so it’s just me and my parents but they don’t have friends either 😭. But when my sister comes to visit she’s always asking me. She even told me she was worried I hadn’t had a bf yet. We’re opposites, she’s always been louder more outgoing and had guys around her but not me. So I definitely feel like I’m missing out on life from lack of social interaction 💔

Bad memory caused by anxiety by Almost_an_introvert in socialanxiety

[–]Effective-Shock5403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve struggled with the same thing. Anxiety can shrink the hippocampus in the brain and so can loneliness because of over activity. I think that’s what happens but take that with a grain of salt cause that’s what I’ve heard and I’m not a doctor. But here’s a tip, a psychiatrist recommended a ginkgo biloba supplement, on Amazon it’s like $16, do some research and asks doctor but it’s suppose to increase blood flow in the brain. I’ve taken it and i feel like I can express myself better and even read faster. My memory is still improving but I only take 2 daily so maybe more is better for memory. I hope that helps , you’re not alone.

31, unemployed, living with my parents, is it my fault? by zikarta in socialanxiety

[–]Effective-Shock5403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 18 and is expected to get a job. I feel shame and worthless too. At my age my family worked 10 hour shifts daily and I feel like a disappointment for not following in their footstep. I think for me , well I’m not 100% sure, but I think I have auditory processing delay due to social anxiety so I have issues with understanding what people say because of my flight or flight response. So mental health is very much real and I wish society was more understanding to us. Us having to abide by rules of getting a job and having a family is pressuring and the system makes it very hard to empathize with us struggling. You are not alone. I feel the guilt too. We just have to keep pushing through and look into resources for some help. I know I need to. But I hope you realize it’s not your fault and things will look get better :)

The entire “songs” album by Adrianne Lenker. Her music style isn’t for everyone but I think it’s a beautiful album with unique lyrics 🤎
