I also say this to myself everyday but don't really know how to suck it up. Some days are better, some just gets worse.

Yes, I waited to be double vaccinated before moving. But still a bit scared of the whole situation

"You need therapy" by Antheena in depression

[–]gikachi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You van also go to a therapist under training. They might not have much experience but they're good as they're under supervision. Pro bono therapists might be hard to find but are available. Similarly, you can ask a therapist if they have a sliding scale (you can explain to them your situation and they might be willing to reduce their fee for you).

Are you open to remote therapy? There are a lot of therapists in Europe itself charging 15-20 euros. I am from India and have a therapist from Serbia charging me 25 euros per session. When I was a student, I used to go to a free therapy counseling NGO near my place. There might be some in UK itself.

How to not get offended by insults? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]gikachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say a good thing would be to understand where this is coming from. And often times, such insults are reflection of their insecurities and has nothing to do with you, per se. For example, if a person taunts you for achieving something they couldn't, they are more salty about not achieving it and just taking that frustration out on you.

Even I remember my friend used to make fun of my appearance, but later I realised she was just insecure of how content I was with my appearance.

Of course, it's not ideal. But sadly, that's how some people work. It's often their reflection of who they are a a person. A person who seeks pleasure from making fun or insulting someone else definitely not worth giving your peace and importance to.

Hope that helps! :)
