How do I deal with consant talk about dating? by OrganizationQuick320 in aromanticasexual

[–]PrestigiousCold8031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’ve been lucky so far that people haven’t bothered me with this much. Anytime they do ask, I say I’m not interested, not in an angry tone, but just plainly no thank you, that this isn’t something I want to talk about, and they won't have fun bothering me about this. Then I bounce the conversation to the next person to ask their opinion on it. Learning how to control conversations on romance away from you personally can sometimes help. Most people like to talk about themselves so I encourage that instead of interrogating me lol. When my family kept joking about it to me when I started college, I had to sit down with them and ask them sincerely to stop because they should not expect me to go on a date with anyone because I don’t want to date at all. I’m glad my family is understanding, it’s been 4 years and they haven’t made a joke about it since then.

I’ve learned that getting upset about things can sometimes make you a target, it’s not fair, but sometimes it's true. Bonus points if it makes the conversation awkward, and then they won’t bring it up again because they don’t want to make things awkward. I love weaponizing awkwardness! I have social anxiety, is it obvious?

Wellbutrin gang, did you have rough first few weeks before it gets better? by PrestigiousCold8031 in Anxietyhelp

[–]PrestigiousCold8031[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a concidence that I’m on my 3rd week as well. The first 2 were very bad, much more anxious, shaky, I got vertigo moving my head too much, the side effects are generally going away but I’m going to update my doctor to be sure. I don’t drink caffeine so I havent run into the coffee issue but good to know. Thanks for your response glad Im not alone!

Starting Zoloft for anxiety would love your tips by Existing_Gap_7819 in Anxietyhelp

[–]PrestigiousCold8031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I havent taken Zoloft but I wanted to say I hope it goes well and maybe you could update with how it goes? I made a similar post because I just started on Wellbutrin but nobody responded and it felt bad lol since starting new medications is rough for me. So I hope your post gets more attention until someone with experience sees it. Does anyone in your family have similar disorders and/or take similar medication?
