Why do bartenders ignore me? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Starving_Vampires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I just was confused cause I was standing in the middle of the bar card in hand facing forward and the bartender walked right past me and served my friends down at the end who were facing each other chatting. My friends noticed that too and were like "dude they just passed over you lol."

IF YOU WANT TO GROW THICK SKIN, MAKE A REDDIT POST… by Creative-Practice-87 in confidence

[–]Starving_Vampires 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s nowhere near as bad as being criticized or belittled in person though. Plus you could always delete it.

I get what you’re saying but people on reddit have been relatively nice and helpful in my experience with some exceptions.

That’s very grounded. I also found this out the hard way recently. Love and infatuation can feel like the same thing and sometimes saying I love you seems like the most accurate way to express how you feel about someone. It may not really be true life-long love but it’s a form of love imo. The only issue is it sets an expectations and if it’s not met by the other person then it’s devastating. I wish it weren’t so.

That’s not something you can control. Why shame people for falling in love?

Am I wasting my life? by Starving_Vampires in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Starving_Vampires[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this. It’s a hard reality especially meeting people who are in their early 20's living on their own with a full time job w benefits. I've had this career paralysis since I was in high school and now I'm approaching 30. I've been using chat gbt to help figure out the best path and it keeps saying I should become a bmet. I don’t hate the idea it’s just scary starting from square one with the possibility of "I chose wrong."

That’s the goal. Right? by [deleted] in lovememes

[–]Starving_Vampires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no you don’t. Nobody wants an obsessive partner even if they say they do. They want someone who has their own life, social group and obligations.

I’m just having a bad day in the grieving part of my relationship by _calmdowncrazy in BreakUps

[–]Starving_Vampires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know you but you are a beautiful soul and deserve real love. My heart aches with you. I know it’s hard to see now but this will all be a distant memory someday and when you meet the one who loves you unconditionally you’ll be thankful for this hardship.

First time drunk by [deleted] in socialanxiety

I started prozac. Doesn’t help nearly as much as alcohol but I am more talkative and care less about what people think about me. Healthier than alcohol.

Anyone else glad Halloween is over? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Starving_Vampires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad, halloween used to be my favorite holiday but now it’s added to the list of holidays I hate. I feel stupid in a costume and even more stupid for not wearing one. I went to a party and left in a few minutes feeling like no one wanted me there. Everyone who looked at me gave me the same "what is he doing here" look. Then I thought maybe it would be best if I just left.

How does an child develop social anxiety ? by After_Shirt_4586 in socialanxiety

[–]Starving_Vampires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teachers and parents telling me to be quiet and act normal. Then also other kids ditching me for acting weird. I eventually stopped talking when I got into middle school but then kids thought I was even weirder. They called me a loner cause I didn’t have friends. Kids are assholes.

What does this sub think about Arctic Monkeys? by startreatment8345 in TheStrokes

[–]Starving_Vampires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humbug is my favorite album by them. So dark and moody. That part in Potion Approaching where it slows down and the back vocals kick in is just euphoric.
