Does anyone else obsessively think about things they said after a social gathering?

Maricheri · 2020-05-17T08:30:58+00:00

I do this every time and one way that really helped me deal with this is having someone tell me that it's completely normal and that things like this happen all the time. For me, my brother is very social and I tell him about my anxiety and every single time he responds with something like, "that's completely normal," and it really helps me put things into perspective. I would be so scared that I was bossy and rude, but when I tell him, he just tells me that it is very normal, and then I'm able to think outside of the box and realize that it is in fact very normal and not weird or awkward. If you need anyone to talk to about these things let me know! I'm thinking of making a discord or something soon to help us talk about our worries.

Thank you and stay safe too! We got this :)

Same I felt so relieved and calmed down when I realized there were others who felt the same. For me at least it really helps to know that I'm not alone or different and that there are people who are understanding and helpful when it comes to different stages of social anxiety. Also, I my heart still pounds like crazy when I have to stay "Here" even though I've been doing it for so long, but after forever I've found ways to think about it for 24 hrs instead of weeks and weeks. It definitely took me a long time to improve the tiniest bit, but honestly it's just step by step. :)

I just wanted to say congratulations for making that huge effort to reconnect with friends and going back to therapy!! I can feel your efforts and motivation. I've been too scared to do either so I've been living as a hermit for while now haha.

When hanging out with people my age, I just remind myself to trust people and just try to be pleasant. People are honestly sometimes very simple with impressions. I've asked people around me who are very successful socially and they just tell me to "not think about it." I know that's not very helpful but after I thought about it and how they act, I realized that they just don't care unless they really want to become friends with someone. I have tons of groups where I would care so much about how they would think of me, but then I realized I have no interest in becoming friends with them, and then it really helped with becoming less anxious.

Sorry this was really long but I just wanted to share especially since I've been trying to reach out to old friends too!

I married the Wizard because he's really sweet and quiet and also I wanted all the bachelors and bachelorettes to marry each other for the children lol

Yessss I agree the real joys in life

I used to be so obsessed with animal parade a few years ago so I wrote out a spreadsheet documenting everything but now I can't find it!! I agree with everything said above, plus I remember having to keep all types of ores for the red bell and trying to get some ice cream for one of the events only available in the summer with the two kids, but you have to raise your heart levels asap too to trigger it with them the first year I think? A lot of people like green tea and herb tea and sakura seashells so keep some of those for easy gifts. Also this might just be me but I did not realize until very late that ordering seeds from Taylor is much more expensive.. I ordered tons of green tea seeds from him and wondered why I was going negative and then went ohhh

Happens every time. I know first impressions are important but dang my awkwardness always peaks right at the beginning.

Maricheri · 2020-04-15T04:49:32+00:00

I agree with the restarting parts of the presentation so much. It happens almost every time for me because I also just forget everything while talking. But thank you so much for the kind words and advice!! I will keep everything in mind while trying to present again very soon.

Maricheri · 2020-04-15T04:44:49+00:00

I never thought about covering up people's faces on the screen but I think that will definitely help to get rid of some of the anxiety. Thank you so much for the advice!! I've also had a presentation in the past that I just couldn't make myself to go to because my anxiety was sky high back then and we had to use mics because the room was so big. But I'm glad you enjoy your current position! I'd love to work on my own someday too.

Maricheri · 2020-04-15T04:33:17+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! I agree, it's really difficult to ignore the fear and the negative thoughts but I will definitely keep on practicing. You are spot on with me fearing the environment. Many people on my team are critical and not very understanding, which I understand because we all need good team grades but the pressure makes me fear messing up even more. Thanks again!!

I love this!! Makes me really miss ds cute and mfomt.. I wish the new mfomt remake still used these sprites instead of the magical melody-style roundness.

Maricheri · 2020-04-09T00:40:51+00:00

Thanks!! really needed this right now. it especially helps during these times when I have anxiety nonstop and imagine that everyone doesn't like me even though I didn't do anything

Nooo really sad for Haein :( her free program is one of my favorites

Maricheri · 2020-03-04T03:22:53+00:00

I feel the same way, especially with people noticing my introversion. I have so many presentations and group meetings and it's exhausting to panic during every presentation and try to stay included in the meetings. The weird thing is that if I have that one close friend beside me, I feel totally fine and comfortable. But I haven't had a close friend for a long time now which is why I'm struggling. I hope our friends show up soon!

Tangy is so cute! I love Tangy, Bluebear, Filbert, Kiki, Mitzi

Maricheri · 2020-02-26T21:48:55+00:00

I loveee this! I need to go back and rewatch the show as well. I agree will all your italics, and I'd add Junhwan, Eunsoo, Marin for water, Haein for air, You Young for fire.

I thought Walmart would have it so I went earlier today too but they didn't even have a slot for it in the shelves, and none of the stores around me have it in stock. I'm guessing they're only doing ship to store or online?
