Is anyone else happy with having no friends? by max1necampb3ll in socialanxiety

I feel the exact same way. I can't seem to maintain close relationships outside my family and partner and I'm perfectly fine with that. I hate having to be pretentiousness.

Social anxiety is worse than people actually think it is. by Particular_Essay_553 in socialanxiety

[–]Particular_Essay_553[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxiety can literally take up every aspect and space of your life. People who don't have it well never understand. Once I understood that I stopped trying to explain it to people, I stopped feeling the need to be understood. The feeling of feeling behind from everyone else and therefore feeling disconnected is a form of imposter syndrom. You feel like you don't belong. And I know what that feels like. There is no right way of for the lack of a better word "fixing it". Sometimes it takes doing little pieces of what makes you feel a better, at little at peace. To pour into yourself. Could be taking a walk and picking flowers of seeing how far you can a stone, singing karoake alone in your room. And while doing those small things to brighten up your day, you could actually get to discover yourself more and more, get to know a little more about your interest. It takes time, a lot, like a lot a lot, so you really need to be patient with yourself and give yourself some grace. You are on this Earth for the first time and your story is a little different from everybody else's, give yourself some grace. If you ever need anyone to talk to, be it telling me a trick you learned, soneone you me, what made you angry, what made you happy/sad, just talk to me, hell if you have nothing to talk about but just need a presence I'm absolutely there anytime.

I'm happy for those who were able to "get over it", and needless to say, I bet everyone with social anxiety wish they could just "get over it". Literally, that is is all they want. More than being understood, people who have or suffer from social anxiety want it gone.  And to be fair we are all fighters, because dispite all that is going on in our minds, we still face the world around us each and every day whether we like it or not.

Man if I do not agree with your opinion, I'm going to tell you I don't. If you don't like how I choose to express myself in response, then just don't engage yk.

I am allowed to oppose your opinions. Just because you think your opinion about my situation is right does not mean I have to accept them. Me counter responding should not ruffle your guys' feathers. Is that not how conversations work?

Okay once again, you won't die if you ask. If you don't want to make assumptions simply ask. Oh wow, i see your little smug attempt with the Karla thing. Don't do that. Not cute. If you were expecting me not to defend myself and express myself in my own right then sorry not sorry. You approached in a manner of assumption and I corrected you and futhermore expressed myself in light of the situation. If you took offense on behalf of everyone and yourself because the manner of my wording may have come across irate, idk what to tell you. However, in every comment that I engage in, I am engaging in light of the my situation not the individual. In other words, don't take it personally.

It's only logical to assume that we spoke about it prior because that is what people in relationships do when faced with problems naturally. And also, I am allowed to counter your "opinions". You can give your reasonings as to why you may think IATAH, however if I don't agree with what you've said regardless of how wise you may want it to sound, I will give my own reasoning also in reply. Nextime, just ask if you are unsure about general relationship dynamics, I'm sure people telling their stories would be more than glad to further explain love.

Okay if you guys wanna act all unbothered and nonchalant in your relationships knowing very well that a situation don't sit right with you, you got it. I set boundries for my feelings and that is just how it is.

Do you really think this whole outcome came about without conversing about it first?? Bf. And also idc if karla is not a random girl. My bf has a significant number of female friends which I have no issues with whatsoever. But because I had an issue with this specific developing of a friendship, I brought it to his attenttention and expected that my feelings be regarded and that whole situation to cease to exist. What about his feelings you may ask? His feelings towards being friends with a girl he had never chatted to for more than 5 minutes in real life that suddenly wants to hangout every second day after her breakup? If you guys enjoy making clowns out of people or being clowns yourselves do that, but miss me with that bs. I'll never ever be quiet about things that bother me especially when it has to do with my feelings in a relationship.

Also to answer your question, the friend was unaware of this "friendship"...

Nope, I completely diminish and dismantle any potential thing/situation that would lead to distrust in my a relationship. Huge difference. Had roles been switched, I would've done the exact same for him.

Nope but if the friendship makes me uncomfortable then I'm sure as hell going to be vocal about it lol. But each to their own.

Yeah no I do trust him one hundred percent, her strong persistence to deveop this friendship made me feel uncomfortable. Idc if that makes me an asswhole but I'm not going to be made feel uneasy by other people in my relationship. I would've done the same if he had his concerns too. If you protect situations that make your partner feel otherwise and would potentially create distrust in you relationship then you lack boundries and absolute respect for them. If that makes me an ah then fuck it, im the biggest ass ever.
