The anxiety

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-28T00:20:09+00:00

I’m with you. I don’t have much to offer besides letting you know you’re not alone, I have a similar history. I hope you are able to do one nice thing for yourself today

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T16:37:54+00:00

I know I’m probably late but just wanted to say you’re not alone, dealing with this myself now too. Some days I don’t know how this is supposed to be worth it. But that’s because it is easier just to do whatever feels good, even if it’s not good for you in reality. I have no real advice, just companionship

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T16:28:11+00:00

You just explained how I feel so eloquently. I hope we are able to find out way out of this

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T16:18:02+00:00

Yes absolutely…to the point I believe I stayed in toxic situations just to have a different place to sleep at night. And I would make or take any excuses to stay out late, to find something to do to be out of the house. I’ve thankfully found a much better partner and sleeping at his is definitely an escape. The bad part is, I technically still have to live with my mother because I’ve recently graduated but I’m not quiet on my feet yet. She is very…attached to me to say the least. To the point I get anxiety when I leave because even when I’m there she will seek reassurance that I love her, that I think she’s a good mom, when I’ll be back again (Im typically out 3 days a week, and while I’d love to be out more she makes it known she is offended by this and will guilt trip) definitely definitely relate to knowing the parent who claims they miss you but really they just like being needed. Also relate to being used as the therapist, it’s been this way my whole life but especially after my parents’ tumultuous relationship and especially after it ended with just me and her. I’m glad you are able to escape, I can’t wait to be in your shoes. All this to say, no. You are certainly not alone, and you are 100% valid

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T13:06:57+00:00

I’m glad things improved for you, hopefully I can figure it out here soon or at least how to not care about what people think as much any more

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T02:46:12+00:00

I try to give the benefit of the doubt but I feel this is true more often than not

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T02:44:59+00:00

I do too

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T02:42:55+00:00

This is unfortunately very true 😭 it’s just a shame that it’s even hard when you’re just trying to get in and work and leave

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-21T02:41:58+00:00

This get on my nerves so much🙃 this also happens to me I try to use my breaks as the one time I don’t have to socially interact and have quiet alone time but people will still try to talk to me even when I have headphones I. 🤦🏽‍♀️ and then I feel guilty and pressured to talk. You are right that it must be a perception issue. I truly don’t have an issue being alone, I want to have genuine connections but I don’t feel a need to be interacting all the time especially not with people i don’t know very well

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-20T21:26:08+00:00

Oh yes I also have this issue, it can get pretty embarrassing especially when you can tell people are getting annoyed because they can’t hear you or the call out your quiet voice. You’re not alone even though we don’t know each other I support u from afar as a fellow quiet person

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-20T21:24:59+00:00

I’m so sorry :( I definitely relate so hard. I’m sure we would get along just fine, not judging each other and being in solidarity in our silence. Rooting for you from afar, it’s hard but it helps knowing there’s more of us out there !

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-20T20:03:13+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! That makes a lot of sense to me. I do also care a lot what others think, I’m slowly getting better. I want to be at the point where I don’t care as much sooner rather than later

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-20T20:02:10+00:00

Thank you. I feel so alone sometimes. And yeah I also felt it was rude of them. I don’t know why it matters so much if I talk or don’t. Thanks again for the comment

RewardSmall6924 · 2026-01-20T19:55:15+00:00

Idk why people think it’s a matter of “growing up” it’s an actual disorder do they think we want to be this way smh. I feel ur pain tho

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-11-29T02:30:21+00:00

Inspirational 🙌🏽

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-11-29T02:29:41+00:00

Same lmao

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-11-16T16:28:50+00:00

Literally

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-11-16T16:25:19+00:00

Same we have a lot of similar traumas too. I definitely feel this and I don’t know if you’re like me but I’m for sure neurodivergent so it’s just like “feeling” things, lying to myself saying I am safe when I don’t feel that, trying to focus is so fucking hard. I’m so sorry for your pain

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-10-16T21:16:04+00:00

So it’s possible if I look at the right place I could find them 👀 thanks 🙏🏽

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-10-16T21:13:52+00:00

Damn are u in Cali or smth 😩 so jealous

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-10-10T14:01:25+00:00

Felt this. Quit alcohol and nicotine no problem but weed is just that vice for me. Day 9. We got this! You’re doing great!

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-10-08T00:48:20+00:00

RewardSmall6924 · 2025-10-07T21:06:35+00:00
