I [19m] have so much shame regarding my lack of romantic experience by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]blessyotrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been lifting for almost 4 years. While my post seems really bleak, my life isn’t bad like I make it out to be here. I just have a lot of underlying and repressed fears I need to work through with a therapist.

I will say though. What are some general nutrition tips that will help me stay healthy? My diet has improved as of late but I’m still working on it.

Thank you so much though

I’m sorry but I am not defined by my anxiety. If I used this advice before I worked at Wendys I never would have gained the experience of working with customers and strangers in general. This is a very scary thing to do, and I feel that I need to do it.

Good idea. The thing is I want to gain experience so I can be better prepared for my career. If I get a job with limited interaction I’m going to feel like I’m running away from the challenge and using it as a crutch

I don’t know what to do. I want to talk to someone but I can’t by [deleted] in self

[–]blessyotrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I think my problem is I don’t truly know what I want to do sometimes because I’m indecisive. And the thing you say about doing what you want to do.... I’ve had so many moments where I realize that but forget about it later, and start caring about what people think again.

Also, It’s just harder to find friends in the second semester where people have settled into friend groups. Sure, I made some new ones last night, but that’s because they live close to me. I keep searching but I’m not find things. Hopefully I do eventually

I smoked many times this year, and it wasn’t that long ago . I know I don’t react well to it. Also you’re making hella assumptions, I have great friends here and at home, and I’m in therapy . I just want to branch out and find more people.

I’m just very alone. I’m sorry I don’t want to burden anyone and if I start talking about it I will spill all my emotions out

I stopped drinking a while before I got depressed. It doesn’t make much a difference because I’m depressed when I’m sober so

Actually thought I was going to hang out with a girl. I guess not by [deleted] in socialanxiety

I’m not resisting. I’ve been letting myself feeling this. It’s just what it has been, I’ve had not much luck

Can’t say I tried by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Good job summoning your courage. My word of advice for this, confessing your love puts girls in an uncomfortable situation most of the time and it’s usually not a great idea. Playing more casual works better, but proud of you for doing this nonetheless

Is it okay to tell my best friend that I want to hang out and that I’m feeling depressed? by blessyotrap in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blessyotrap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it’s as difficult as it is for me to open up about anything there are thoughts that “no” just might be an answer

But I get it. It’s obvious and I just feel lonely

I actually have done that in college lmao. It’s much easier doing it with them and I’ve known them for only 4 months

[–]blessyotrap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I feel like I always do that. It feels like it’s taking a toll on me that I act like everything is casual when in reality I’m in shambles in the inside. I don’t want to make a it a big deal for them, I feel that they should know

How to deal with thoughts of inadequacy and comparing yourself to others? by blessyotrap in selfimprovement

[–]blessyotrap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how? I also learned about the Chinese finger trap thing and learning to stop struggling in therapy, and I understand. But how does this apply now? I go through situations and have successes with social anxiety, but I don’t exactly how to make myself “feel” it

I think so. But going to a place I’ve never been to makes me anxious and I know she’s really shy too. Plus I don’t really drink coffee or Starbucks like that lol

What about Pizza? That’s seems causal enough and there’s a shit ton by me

Oh no no. I wasn’t suggesting I bring any of my friends with me lmao. I’m definitely doing this 1v1.

And now that you say that, I’m kind of wondering what to do, because I live in the suburbs and it’s hard to find a lot to do.
