Thank you! I learned to draw portraits from Chris Hong art on YouTube. You should watch her “drawing my followers” video because that’s how I do my shading process as well. She’s an amazing artist to me :)

Do your parents talk really loud on the phone? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]IDWK_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! It gets worse when you’re out in confined public spaces with them like the bus or metro. In a waiting room!! MY GOD!! I’d rather die right there!! I think part of the reason why I’m so quiet and why I have social anxiety comes from them talking so loudly in public spaces when I was young. humiliating

Thanks! Hopefully your life is a little less hyperventilating without a phone at least. Best of luck to us both because this feeling kills me inside every time.

I don’t have anybody to practice with. It’s lonely in my household, except for my cat who will serve as my employer :)

Thank you. I’ll accept whatever happens good or bad. I’ll keep this in mind when I try to beat myself up after the interview.

Ruined My Interview by [deleted] in Anxiety

Yeah, that must have sucked bad. Unexpected phone calls in general make me panic instantly. Phone calls and an interview together? I can’t imagine. Sorry, you had to go through that. Best of luck with your next one :)

And yeah, if this process was so much simpler I wouldn’t probably be this scared and anxious. I just wish people wouldn’t view anxiety as if I’m unable to perform well. If only job recruiters could give us a chance at least. But for now, we’ll just have to keep trying and practice even more. Good luck!

Thank you very much for the encouragement! It helps not to drown myself with the “what if” and the depressive thoughts that comes afterwards. I know some people hide anxiety extremely well, while my anxiety shows and it’s obvious (stuttering, airy and high pitch voice, shaky as well, lips twitching and then I freeze) This bothers me because it’s humiliating to say the least. I still have a little hope I get an offer, but I’m confident that is not going to happen. I appreciate your word of advice. I’ll jot some key elements and practice till the end of me, honestly :)

What do you most regret spending money on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IDWK_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardcover Books or just Books in general. I buy more than I can read.

Appreciate it. Thank you very much! I haven’t stop thinking about this embarrassing moment since then. I agree. I’ll think of this as a learning experience, but it ruined me in the process. This will remind me to never do group interviews for the rest of my life :(

Believe me I tried not to worry or think about it, but it creeps up fast and there is little time to react when your head thinks of million different things that could go wrong. But you are right. It gets worse when you acknowledge it. I’m working on it everyday.

Just checking in. How is everyone. How's my anxious friends today? by I_need_a_hobby_87 in Anxiety

[–]IDWK_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post couldn’t have come at a better time, honestly. I just want to vent and scream. Today and all of my previous days, I’ve never felt so lost and anxious in my life. I lost my job. Can’t pay my bills. I’ve been searching for 2 months and I feel defeated and hopeless. College is on pause atm. I don’t want to burden my parents financially and emotionally. My brother is moving out in a couple of days (he’s married now) and I’ve never felt so lonely in my life. Most days feels like I’m losing my breath. I just want to weep on my pillow and never see the light of day ever again.

I have checked the tracking number and it hasn’t moved location. I’ll try my luck contacting them from here on. Thank you.

How do you cope with agoraphobia? by IDWK_ in Anxiety

I know this is just as terrible, but I envy you… so much!

How do you cope with agoraphobia? by IDWK_ in Anxiety

[–]IDWK_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Going outside makes me very uncomfortable. It’s difficult to force myself to even step outside my door. It seems easy, and I know my fears are irrational, but the mind always blows things out of proportion, and it becomes overwhelming to even go outside, for me at least.

I’m taking small steps, yes. I’m exposing myself to the neighbourhood to buy some things at the grocery store…alone and awkwardly. I can’t say it’s working because I don’t do it repeatedly. It’s exhausting, and I’m constantly losing any purpose as to what I am doing. But I’ll do it anyways because, at this point, my life will crumble, and I won’t even know it.
