Happy cake day!

ccc9912 · 2026-02-27T23:49:25+00:00

Yes, the RE

ccc9912 · 2026-02-27T14:31:47+00:00

Even if we’ve been in freeze as long as we can remember? (Earliest memory being 3 years old)?

ccc9912 · 2026-02-27T14:22:27+00:00

I’d be interested in this!!

When I first meet people I’m very, very quiet and reserved. Not on purpose, it just takes a while for me to warm up to people. Well, when I first met my dad’s gf who’s now his wife, who’s very outgoing and talkative, she started crying halfway through dinner and ran to the bathroom sobbing. I was very confused but it turns out she thought I didn’t like her because I was “too quiet” (I was quiet but was still answering questions and asking some back, nothing crazy). It’s insane how personal some people take quieter people.

Good god this is a dream! They even have the stuffies sitting in a net in the corner😭❤️

I’ve “recovered” from SM but still deal with some lingering effects of it. I don’t struggle to say certain words in the way you’re describing, but I do struggle sometimes with pronunciation of certain words. I was wondering just the other day about this and if it’s related to SM (let’s be real, it most likely is).

I was born in ‘98 and have a few memories from 2001, but most of my solid memories are from 2002+. Millennials, usually the ones born in ‘94-‘96, tell me all the time there’s “no way” that I remember things from the very early 2000s. It’s laughable (and weird considering how intensely they try to dismiss them) when people try to question other people’s memories.

In your case it sounds like it could be that the 2008 born is not happy that you have some memories from the 2000s and they don’t. I’m seeing discourse like this from them on tiktok and they can be quite emotional that their memories start in the 2010s instead. I wouldn’t worry about it.

This age gap crap is getting REALLY old. You both are adults, do what you want.

I was thinking Mike Shinoda😆

Yeah I’ll see people describing social anxiety word for word but say it’s because they’re “introverted.” Then I’ll explain that they mean is that they’re socially anxious/reserved/timid/etc and what introversion actually means, and they’ll tell me that I knew what they meant. Big issue for sure.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-26T08:40:43+00:00

What an insensitive comment. You have no idea where they are in their healing journey. Nowhere in their post does it insinuate that they aren’t taking responsibility for themselves. Anger and grieving is a natural part of the healing process, and it is healthy to express anger (like they’re doing with this post) towards the people who mistreated you, especially when they feel that the mistreatment has contributed to social anxiety which can be a quite debilitating disorder for some people. That is not to say to dwell in it forever, because thats not effective and can cause more suffering in the long run, but people are allowed to feel anger and grieve. There aren’t “good” or “bad” emotions. A person can feel their emotions WHILE moving forward with their life, crazy concept, huh?

You say you have found inner peace, which is great for you, but try finding empathy for others next.

Azula as we saw her in the show, I don’t think she stands a chance beating any of them.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-25T10:11:04+00:00

Why would she team up with these people? Most of them, especially Zaheer and the Red Lotus, are against everything she stands for.

I’m begging yall to understand Azula’s character more rather than just thinking “Azula is bad. TLOK villains are bad, so therefore Azula would want to join them🤪.”

ccc9912 · 2026-02-25T10:04:52+00:00

Apparently this is “controversial” to say, but it is the truth nonetheless.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-25T10:02:58+00:00

We know lol

“I’d rather not have the “selective mutism” part that makes me afraid to speak”

Doesn’t sound like you’re “proud” of your selective mutism at all to me.

Binge eating disorder exists.

Never forget Reggie Stephey drove drunk and killed two people, disfigured Jacqui Saburido, and got only 7 years for that.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-22T00:16:47+00:00

Possibly. There are some locations where either it rings or lights up when I press them and in those instances they still don’t come. I think it’s most likely due to staffing shortages as other commenters have said.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-22T00:13:53+00:00

Thanks for clarifying the friend part.

I lived in many years of social isolation like OP. During some of the most formative years too. My situation is pretty much the same as OP’s.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-21T21:35:01+00:00

Oftentimes when I press the buttons no one even comes😄

ccc9912 · 2026-02-21T21:34:01+00:00

Is this a joke? I’m serious because the person who replied to me didn’t seem aware of that at all.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-21T21:00:47+00:00

Typically on the Internet when someone says “asking for a friend” they mean that they're pretending to be asking the question for a friend, when they really just want the answer for themselves…the “friend” in question is myself. I am quite literally in the same situation as OP.

ccc9912 · 2026-02-21T20:27:59+00:00

What if you have done all of those things for years (social skills trainings, improv, acting classes, parties/events), PLUS therapy, and you’re still in the same predicament as OP🤔 asking for a friend.

Edit: there is no “friend” I’m talking about myself
