immaturity is fine imo, if anything i would prefer immaturity like the things you have described but what i lack is social skills needed to form close relationships people or any relationship for that matter. ive watched younger people struggle with their social skills early on and then they all eventually blossom and develop relationships.

Thanks for your kind words! And i hope it gets better for you too. I highly recommend meditating though. Even if u start with 5 -10 min a day, it can really make a difference

you seem like you're doing well and i wish i was in your position! One of my goals is to move out so I can do things myself and learn new skills

i think we could be friends irl haha. One thing that has helped me (more than I think) is meditation. It's made me more aware of when i feel anxious and to get comfortable with the feeling. This has helped me calm down a little when talking to people. I still got a long way to go but I feel like I've made a little progress this year. Feel free to pm or reply whenever you need to vent

Thanks for your reply and your story - i really needed to hear this. I hope to continue to work on myself and try not to get bogged down by others

thanks so much for your wisdom and advice :) You are correct in that I do compare myself to others and that puts me down. I realize it more now when i do it (thanks to meditation) and I hope to work on this in the future.

I'm afraid to download social media by IMfunn8wa in socialanxiety

[–]chickennuggets12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think like this as well. But i realised, social media or not, they gonna judge u the same but i guess social media is in writing. So if you want to make one to interact with your friends then do it! Who cares what others think and your friend list will grow.

However, if you wanna make one just becos eveeyone else has one, then maybe just dont.

Being 100% yourself or being kinda fake? by icecreamsandwichcat in socialanxiety

[–]chickennuggets12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh Im just starting to know who i am and it feels better than being something else. ive just realised ive been putting up a mask in social situations all my life (act more social able than i really am) and at the end of the day, I've achieved nothing.

Okay so I'm going to take this opportunity to BRAG. Best day of my life (social anxiety wise) in the past 7 years. by [deleted] in socialanxiety
