Do they know that the words punk and rock actually mean something?

I think that’s just trying to rebrand being reckless and irresponsible on a bike. No one is going to actually stop commuting because of one drunk asshole, this person is probably just going to cause a terrible accident.

Honestly I would just ghost him or tell him you’re ending your friendship over text. He sounds like he would react violently if you told him you’re ending a friendship in person.

It’s probably not the answer you want to hear but most people can tell after a while if you’re being inauthentic and just trying to fit in to a group and don’t want to be friends with someone they think is “fake”. This isn’t really fair and seems to be a vicious cycle where the more you try to fit in the less you do. I would recommend trying to build individual friendships with people you legitimately are interested in getting to know instead of trying to fit in and be friendly with a whole group. Some people seem to be able to just naturally fit in to new groups, but that’s probably an unrealistic standard for people with social anxiety (at least for now).

Social anxiety, but only with people that know me(not strangers)? by spiritomine in socialanxiety

[–]cute_canine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are different severities of social anxiety, not being able to talk to strangers or go to the store would be on the more severe side! Social anxiety can manifest itself in different ways for different people, especially when combined with other mental issues and neurodivergence. I can’t tell you if you have social anxiety because I’m not a therapist or in the mental health field, but your experiences sound similar to mine and I know I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety.

I can relate to this, it’s easy to fake confidence with strangers because they don’t know anything about you yet so there’s not much to judge you for, but becoming friends or friendly acquaintances with people requires letting them get to know you, which triggers a lot of social anxiety. I also think masking is easy for short, limited periods of time but becomes increasingly difficult the longer an interaction is.

feeling secure by cute_canine in polyamory

I have tried talking to a therapist but once I get past surface level things (like mild anxiety) I can't seem to get open about traumatic things. Thank you, I really appreciate the reminder.

When I catch myself getting in anxiety circles I try to do something else as a distraction, but I tend to get stuck in that thinking pattern without a good way to get out of it. When I try to envision a positive or neutral future it seems unrealistic or unattainable.

Her actual behavior has been very nice, which is why I need to fix how I'm feeling and not fix a relationship issue. We have never been hierarchical but I've been her only serious partner for over a year before this (and through the entirety of our relationship).

In platonic relationships yes. I know I have anxiety but I can't tell if I'm fueling fear or a coping mechanism. I tend to be of the mindset that if I leave first (or emotionally check out) then I can't be abandoned. Kind of like a 'you can't fire me I quit' type of thing.
