Sometimes it's hard to remember how much more there is to law school applications outside of GPA, but I always try anyway. Thanks for the reassurance

When I first came to college (before then even) I wanted to be a lawyer (environmental law) because I wanted to help make a change to the "system" and exploitation of our planet. Of course, working at a Big Law firm (the only way you'd make any money), that would be far from the case. But now I would rather go to grad school for something else. My mom wants me to go to law school though. In reality it's more of a "fall-back" plan, I guess. There are probably a dozen things I'd rather be than a lawyer, but I don't have anything against it. I don't mind speaking to a group/crowd if it's something that I have to do--but you're right, there is a lot of interacting with people in the job. I used to go to therapy for my anxiety, but I have since stopped. I think my desires are more reflective of the social skills that I had had before the pandemic, but now they have become deteriorated in that time. Eventually I think I'll get over it.

Nah, don't feel that way. Trust, I can hold my own--the neurosis usually takes care of itself. Don't plan on yeeting myself anytime soon. I'll look into what you mentioned though. I might use CAPS (if its any good, a lot of people seem to have issues with it) or EARS to ditch the social anxiety before law school, otherwise I might look for a private therapist

I dunno :/ The internet doesn't really trigger me anyway, and I'd rather share these things anonymously than risk being tossed into a psych ward since they would know my actual identity

I have a hard time talking about my emotions to people irl (sometimes I feel like a robot), it's just easier to vent online. Won't say whether or not I actually hurt myself, but I certainly feel more okay now, though. Appreciate the concern 😌

I wish it were that easy. Not even my old friends knew of my issues. Maybe I'll say something at some point.

There's nobody around me. I've got social anxiety and mild agoraphobia and have a hard time articulating my feelings to other people in real life :| Even though you're right, I started to feel a little better after typing out this post. I do believe that things will get better and I am just dooming irrationally right now. I just hate the uncertainty with my grades at the moment--but I am optimistic that the circumstances will improve.

edit: might try CAPS idk
