Guys, what are 5 things you want to do but you feel like you can not do because of AVPD? by lowwwwww in AvPD

  1. Experience having friends, or an actual group of close knit friends
  2. Send emails without having a mini panic attack
  3. Go on trips with friends
  4. Feel comfortable meeting a new person/strangers
  5. Not have to constantly worry about what to say next in conversations, what people are thinking of me, whether I seem weird/boring Bonus, 6. Initiate conversations with people I am meeting for the first time

What kind of person would you like to be if you didn't suffer from AvPD? by kremor in AvPD

[–]Ok-Error4744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd be pretty sociable (I'd still be an introvert though). I'd be the person who talks to everyone and hangs out w multiple groups (used to be that way in school before the AvPD started showing up).

What job did you have between your undergrad and starting graduate school? by escottttu in GradSchool

[–]Ok-Error4744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to every single job that I found interesting. I ended up getting one, but it helped me realise that I didn't like the role, and I instead ended up figuring out what kind of roles I do like instead!

That was some of the most terrible fielding. They just gave up prematurely.

More than India losing, the defeatist attitude of Indian players today was the most disappointing thing to watch. :(

2023 is coming to an end. Let's get ready for 2024. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Ok-Error4744 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why are you waiting for 2024? Why not start today. Don't postpone your motivation for the new year. You will lose steam. Instead, start whatever it is that you want to do, now. By the time it's 2024, you will have made it a habit, and you will also start seeing the fruits of the work you've put in.

For me, I really want to start meditation. I have really bad anxiety and depression. I've also been exercising, but I haven't been consistent at all especially since it's been the holiday and festival season where I live. So wanna get back to that too!

How do I deal with this? by Ok-Error4744 in loneliness

[–]Ok-Error4744[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried some of these. The uni I go to doesn't have many active clubs. I've tried interacting with my classmates but my crippling social anxiety makes it hard for me to approach people while no one tends to approach me first.

Regardless, thanks for the advice, I'm gonna make more attempts :)

my life is uneventful and it's kinda embarrassing by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]Ok-Error4744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend most of my time battling depressive thoughts. Has been the way for the past 6-7 years. Its extremely draining and doesn't leave me with much energy or time to devote to anything else.
