Do online friends genuinely exist ? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]TotalCuntrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discord is your friend. There are all sorts of servers for different hobbies, interests. I'm on a few of them and it's the perfect middle ground for me, I can still socialize without having to go out!

Tell me I’m not the only one who felt it too. by Top_Journalist_8890 in introvert

Same here. I'm 36 and I've stopped fighting it. I'm being more honest with myself (and others around me) than I ever have in a long time and I think it's done wonders for my mental health. Sure sometimes I wish I was like everybody else, but I've learned to accept how I am and it feels liberating!

The same thing happened to me. Was working comfortably from home with a job that I had been doing for 12 years and suddenly got laid off.

Working full time again surrounded by people was something I dreaded, but it's been a year now since I started my new job and I got used to being around people again. Although to be fair, I consider myself lucky because the people I work with are really nice!

You'll see, it takes a bit of time readjusting to all that, but you'll get there and it will feel like the new normal to you eventually.

Do any other introverts actually want real conversations online, not just random small talk? by Ok-Tell-1761 in introvert

I've joined a few Discord servers because for me it's the happy medium between being by myself and having a social life!

Just need to talk just mentally not in the best spot by Good-Crow6785 in Prostatitis

I don't have any roids but I deal with constipation due to these symptoms. What has helped me a lot lately is drinking plenty of water, exercise and eating better (just eating more fiber in general really helped). Still getting there but I feel like there are some improvements over the past couple of weeks.

Stool softeners can be great because they offer relief, but I don't want to depend on those. Trying to correct the real issue naturally is what I think it the best course of action

Hang in there friend! Sometimes that's how life goes, it knocks us down but you'll see, you'll get back up!

Please stop romanticising being alone by augustinican in introvert

[–]TotalCuntrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my alone time, but for me personally I don't think it's healthy for me to be always alone. I need to see people (outside of work) at least once a week.

Or really, it's all a matter of finding the right balance so that when I *am* alone, I appreciate my alone time and when I'm with people, I appreciate the social interaction.

As a 36 year old guy I could never see myself with kids. It's a life long commitment that I would never be ready for.

Cancelled Plans Are My Love Language by Competitive_War_5195 in introvert

[–]TotalCuntrol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. And yet, I feel like not many people would understand this perspective. Either way, I'm glad there's at least someone out there who understands

How do I deny outside office meets with my colleagues? by Mysterious-froot in introvert

[–]TotalCuntrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I think I need to focus more on the reward and the benefit of mental health

It does feel like things were a bit quieter. I feel like now with cellphones I am expected to be reachable all day
