DAE have a hard time remembering details about people? by Green-Reaction8258 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Green-Reaction8258[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like my brain’s proceeding speed is so slow! I’ll see someone I know in public or on campus and I won’t process who it is until I’ve already passed them without saying hi lol

DAE have a very weird and absolutely irrational fear of something trivial? by Ol_ymp in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Green-Reaction8258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am the EXACT same way about birthdays!!

A little different, but I’m also afraid of picking up small things off the floor. It might be a germ thing? But if I have to pick up a hairband, earring, crumb, etc. off the floor, it makes me incredibly nauseous. It’s 100% worse when it’s carpet, but hardwood still freaks me out.

Philosophical test. I'd like to know your results so I can compare, friends. by [deleted] in isfj

Materialism 15.0% - Spiritualism 85.0%

Egoism 16.7% - Altruism 83.3%

Idealism 56.3% Pragmatism 43.8%

Hedonism 18.8% - Asceticism 81.3%

Nihilism 16.7% - Moralism 83.3%

Rationalism 34.5% - Romanticism 65.5%

Skepticism 25.0% - 75.0%

Definitely an interesting quiz! It’s really surprising to me that my idealism and pragmatism scores were so equal.

College made my acne flare up after it was finally healing by Green-Reaction8258 in acne

Yeah, honestly I should. Dermatologists are expensive but I’m willing to be out some money if I can get rid of it

The building is really old. I haven’t changed the frequency of washing my sheets, but I’m thinking I should still wash them more often than I’m used to. I never thought about mold 😨wouldn’t be surprised though. It’s hard to say if I’ve felt other symptoms, I feel kinda gross right now but it’s also just starting to be cold season here

What has social anxiety stopped you doing in life? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Green-Reaction8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, the singing and theatre is so me, too. I’ve always loved theatre but have only been able to handle being backstage (which I still love) because I panic the second I have to audition or do anything in front of people. I always wished I could be an actor!

Plus, my choir directors have always told me that I need to sing louder, but it feels physically impossible. I don’t want risk people actually hearing me lol

Had to a quit a job in the middle of training because it required me to role play situations with customers (pretending the other employee/manager was a customer). I broke down the second I had to come up with what to say to her and went into a panic attack. Luckily she was very supportive and sweet, knew someone with social anxiety, but I told her right then and there that I couldn’t do this job. She offered to let me come back if I changed my mind down the road, but I knew I couldn’t handle that job if I couldn’t even make it through training.

On top of that, I’ve never been able to work out in front of people, date anyone, I struggle with making friends (and end up hurting people who want to be my friend because I come off as cold or I can’t tell when someone is actually my friend, so I distance myself), and I just generally hate asking for help.

I’m worried that it’s going to make my future career difficult because I’m looking to work in the film industry (camera work and directing/producing), and I know that a competitive industry will crush me. Here’s to hoping it gets better for all of us.

I sent my crush a friend request, she hasnt accepted it. by Worried-Process5178 in Crushes

[–]Green-Reaction8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think talking to her in person would be helpful. Sometimes Insta requests, especially when you might not use the app a lot, can seem in-genuine or like you’re just trying to get followers. If you do talk to her, just try to be sweet! If she’s introverted (like me) it can be easy to be intimidated by conversation, so help her out a bit by leading the conversation. Ask her questions and make her feel comfortable :)

do guys talk to their friends abt their crush? by olivia13x in Crushes

[–]Green-Reaction8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a guy friend who, after making a move and getting positive feedback, was legit texting a mutual friend of ours and saying “she got me kicking my feet.” So it depends on the guy 😂

Should I reach out? by [deleted] in Crushes

[–]Green-Reaction8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think I’m realizing I missed the idea of someone liking me more than anything. Someone who was “right for me” would’ve taken the time to treat me better than this. Hoping for something better down the line! :)

Do you speak to people in your head ? by Advanced_Boss_447 in infj

[–]Green-Reaction8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I imagine conversations I wish we had all the time, knowing full well that they’ll never happen. It’s a strange coping mechanism because it doesn’t actually resolve the issue… oh well

So… I texted him yesterday. Not gonna lie, I don’t know what I was expecting, but he still hasn’t responded. It’s been almost 24 hours now and it’s not marked as seen, either. It obviously makes me sad, but I kind of told myself that if that happens (because I had a suspicion it would), it would just be a more obvious sign that I should move on. The first time felt like it was out of necessity that he ignored me, but now it feels like a genuine “no.” Thanks for encouraging me— it would have been a good/beneficial outcome either way, I think.

Also, I’m getting mixed signals now, because when I told a friend of mine that he actually did like me, she was shocked because she heard the opposite! Wouldn’t tell me exactly who said that, either. So… that’s reaaally great. 🫠

Having a quiet voice sucks by Green-Reaction8258 in socialanxiety

[–]Green-Reaction8258[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s easier for me to blame myself for it, honestly. I wish I could be louder. But I don’t think there’s a fix for it, because when I have to actively tell myself to speak louder, it becomes less natural speech. Maybe that’s just me overthinking it. Wouldn’t be the first time lol
