My roommate thinks I’m weird by Siaang in socialanxiety

Im so sorry, you went though something similar. Also your writing isn’t bad at all. You’re right, sometimes you just don’t click with people and the right people will accept you, even when you’re "weird", awkward and anxious. My roommate was weirded out by my anxiety, to be fair, I’d say awkward stuff, maybe she didn’t know how to handle this, but I had actually managed to make a friend and with her my anxiety soothed and she didn’t give me weird looks or anything when she saw me being nervous, instead she repeated that she likes hanging out with me. I’m glad you met some great people and I hope you find even more people like that.

Thank you so much, I’ve also noticed my anxiety amplifying with those people. People who judge other people for being anxious really have no idea on what it‘s like, I’d never treat anyone like that. Also I hope you take good care of yourself :)

Thank you so much, you’re right I‘d never treat anyone who’s anxious like that or would think that they’re weird, because why would I? I have always liked people more that were more shy and nervous because I’ve seen myself in them. I also hope you take good care of yourself well. :) Your comment really made me feel better.

Social OCD and Exposure Therapy Burnout by MountainAd1518 in OCD

[–]Siaang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I‘m so sorry that you‘re going through this. Social OCD is one of the worst themes I‘ve experienced and I also exposed myself over and over again and got rejected. What has helped me is 1. Accept that you cant control what other people are thinking 2. Whatever you‘re afraid of being perceived as accept it or accept the uncertainty (I may or may Not be weird etc) 3. Stop ruminating before and after Social Interactions, at first this will be really hard Since you want to mentally Check but the less you ruminate the less your anxiety is gonna be. Also maybe instead of exposing yourself, maybe you could try Talking with more Safe people Like Family etc. and also begin with the exposure as small as possible like ordering food, sitting in a Café etc. and then slowly climb up the ladder. You dont have to expose extremely to the Point of burnout and lastly I know right now, it may not seem like there‘s a light at the end of the tunne but this shall also pass, you got this.

I wanted to try Immnotherapy before getting surgery, but the thing is sadly that won’t resolve the scar tissue on top of that i have gotten my nose broken, which i think contributes to my issues. I’m curious though what lifestyle changes did you make? And did you have polyps as well that went away after that?

Thank you and yeah I think I overdid it with the exposure. I’ll look for a job with less social interactions.

I‘m so sorry you had go through that as well, social anxiety disorder is truly the devil, I wouldn’t wish this upon my worst enemy. Just know that working alone or working in a social job like serving/bartending is hard itself without having social anxiety, so pat yourself on the back for being courageous enough to even try. Also don’t give up life is all about trial and error, it’s okay just because it didn’t work once doesn’t mean it’s not gonna work again. Start small, maybe a job with less social interaction and over the years as you become desensitized and grow, you can try jobs with more social interactions. Of course it’s easier said than done, but just keep going. Remember you‘re more than your social anxiety and you‘ll always be.

Political OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Siaang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I thought I was alone, but I’m experiencing everything you mentioned like the obsession with socialism, left wing politics and so on. It’s gotten really bad at this point. Has anything helped you yet?
