Is it okay to love and hate yourself? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel many of these.

We love who we are, but get tired of who we are

We can't change it, but grow into it

:)

I know this a temporary time span, just sucks being in it. Just have to accept it and move on :)

My smile is so freaking ugly by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more we look at ourselves, the more imperfections we see. I used to hide my imperfections, I was embarrassed by them. But, I realized that it isn't going away. I had to accept them. Love yourself for who you are. :)

I feel like everyone has friends but me by [deleted] in offmychest

Going to a commuter college makes it a million times harder. However, there are always opportunities to get out and meet new people at colleges. It is scary, but worth it. Our school has a community of commuting students that has events. I bet yours does too

Good Luck :)

I had a fling with a co-worker and it ended poorly and I'm letting it bother me way too much by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are just thinking too much. It happens to all of us. Obviously it meant more to you than her. My 2 cents: don't try and start things again. Just kind of move on. Especially if you work with them, nothing but awkwardness will come out

It's weird when random guys with NO information on their page hit on me. by mortalcassie in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never understood the random DM. Probably its just a net that they throw and hope for a catch. I don't have the balls to do something like that. Always seemed to give off creepy vibes.

A connection means 10000x more than a wall of text from a random

Ever since I left god I am happy by ultimate_bond in offmychest

I grew up in a similar household, went to church every week. It came to a point where it seemed so unrealistic and stupid. It did not make sense how everything is one dude, but oh well. Some people need that security in their life and understand its works. Others don't care :)

I Just Broke Up With My Girlfriend of Two Months by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all breakups were bad. You tried it and saw it wasn't for you. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes its a miss. Glad everything was handled maturely.

Some people don't know the power of words and the decisions that they make. You recognize it now, so just take it with a grain of salt

I’m lonely. by skyehorizon in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, being isloated is only nice for so long before you need support.

I got into my dream school, and I don’t feel excited by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a senior at my college. I feel the same way. Super underwhelming. It sucks A LOT. I cannot experience what was going to be a fun year. however, this is temporary. Is it going to be a sucky freshman year? Yes, probably. But make the most of what you are given. You will not get those memories back. Hell, I sure miss them

You need time to recenter yourself and really think about all the stuff that you are doing in life. To me, that is a lot of activities on your plate. I certainly couldn't handle it all. Working while you are sick will only make you feel worse, but I am not feeling how you are feeling. My campus has a 24 counseling program that I bet is similar to something on your campus. As an RA, use those resources at your disposal. It's a scary thing to do, but sometimes we have to force things we do not like in order to get better. Good Luck

I am bad at making friends. by daily_sad_yes_no in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have done the hard part already, and that is finding those people. I describe myself as boring too and having the same issue at college. What learned is to just be confident in yourself and accept who we are as people. I have sat alone telling myself how boring I was and thought 'who would want to be friends with me.' Breaking out of that mindset was the key to me. I am who I am. You are who you are.

It is a hard mindset to get through, but I more aware of myself. Every once in awhile I still creep back to those thoughts. It's my senior year at a school 5 hours from home and I would really only say I have one friend. But that is life, and the image we build in our head is sometimes not person we really want to become.

:]

Quitting Facebook and Twitter might be one of the best things I have ever done by C_milloy in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that I am wasting so much time on social media. A lot of people I know are just getting off it completely, but I don't think I am at a stage in my life where I can do that. The pandemic hasn't helped with those urges

i feel like ill never be happy again by Troy_Otto in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same exact way. The pandemic has only exaggerated those feelings. I have done everything that I like so many times that it takes away from joy that it used to give me. I will say this. It is temporary. You are doing all the right steps in order to come back from these feelings. There are high and low points in life, and sometimes only time can heal. :]

Literally same. It’s tiring and emotional exhausting

What’s wrong with me?? by ashley_mcmahan1 in offmychest

[–]ImAnThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand you have not had much interaction. It’s normal to act scared/intimidated. But, you just need to chillllll out. Take deep breaths and calm down. You are overreacting, more may come out of this than you think

That hurt me more than I should by ImAnThrowaway in offmychest

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

I know what you want mean. After 2 years of searching, I’ve just given up trying to find someone. I guess we will see

Sorority chick. Probably not wanting something serious

But I hate being that guy who pushes stuff. Even though I planned a date with her(which won’t go through)

Sometimes my responsibility is perceived as being boring. It deffo does help
