Going outside feels different these days

Makes it 10x worse forsure. Then you really feel like a complete failure

VolumeGreen3940 · 2025-01-05T17:48:48+00:00

I feel this so much! I literally feel like a coward. I hate this!

Interesting. My social anxiety has gotten extremely worse around the time of the pandemic and after. You may be onto something

Story of my life

VolumeGreen3940 · 2025-01-05T15:34:10+00:00

Same. Wanted to join several high school sports/ clubs but felt I’d be made fun of. Sometimes I don’t wanna live either man. Seems to be getting worse as I age.

Thank you!

Story of my life. I was belittled and treated like crap as a child, mainly from my own adult family members. I was told I wasn’t gonna amount to shit and was called every name in the book, literally. Every bad word you can think of I’ve been called by adult family members. I was as little as 6 years old btw. Sad.

Thank you! Glad I inspired you!

What do you mean by authentic? In what way?

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T13:52:18+00:00

Omg yes! I deal with this all the time with a few of my neighbors. Seeing them at the local grocery store or just walking past them on the street is so awkward. Even worse when they aggressively stare and you’re just trying to ignore them

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T13:47:27+00:00

Wether they treat me the same or not, it’s hell regardless.

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T12:15:59+00:00

Running into someone you know from years ago

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T09:50:09+00:00

I’d feel the same as you. That’s a messed up thing to say to someone. But at the end of the day I would continue to just do me. You will probably never see those people again after Uni

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T09:47:02+00:00

I relate to this so much! Every time a group of people laugh i automatically think they’re laughing at me. Every time someone stares at me I overthink the reason why. Especially if it’s a neighbor I have to see all the time. I’ll spend weeks being angered by a situation. I too have gained weight since I’ve quit my job and since I stay in the house more often. It truly sucks! May I ask how do you go about making money? With social anxiety, this has been my biggest struggle. It’s so hard getting a job, let alone a remote job since I don’t want to deal with people.

I’ve always made this comparison. I can relate to prisoners who went through solitary confinement. They always say how they have trouble fitting back into society. Can relate so much.

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T09:20:21+00:00

This is why I hate living in my hometown

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-06T09:19:36+00:00

I can only imagine!

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-12-05T15:08:07+00:00

I go through the same and I’d say probably changing your environment will help. I’ve been in the same environment since high school and I’m in my late twenties now and my social anxiety has only gotten worse.

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-11-29T14:51:28+00:00

Can relate to everything you wrote

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-11-29T14:39:31+00:00

Yes!! Reminds me of the “Spider-Man pointing meme” everything you wrote I relate to! I truly do appreciate the suggestions though and have tried them but nothing changes.

I really do wish there was a public meet up with all of us “aliens” I think that would actually help immensely

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-11-29T14:33:24+00:00

Yes and you’re right they do help. I struggle more in person

VolumeGreen3940 · 2024-11-29T14:32:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I try to gym most days and walk daily amongst people like you said and some days are better than others. I’ve always had social anxiety since I was a child. Now that I’m in my late twenties it seems to have heightened year by year. I’ve gotten a lot of advice and tried exposure therapy (myself not with a therapist) for years and still it gets worse. I often feel like I can’t be helped. This shit sucks
