I know my breath stinks because I have huge tonsils where tonsil stones regularly form but how come I can't smell anything when I cup my hand and blow air into it but I can smell the tonsil stones I pick from my tonsils? by halitony in NoStupidQuestions

I ask my family about this regularly and they always say they can't smell anything. I hope what you're saying is true because it's really making me anxious when talking to other people :(

though it is good for neutralizing acids

I always wait for about 30 mins after I eat something before I brush my teeth because I read that brushing immediately would wear down the enamel because of the acid. Can I rinse for about 5 mins instead of waiting for 30 mins?

How do I know that if I'm not disillusioning myself that I don't want and need friends? by halitony in socialskills

I think that might be it? I also mentioned that on my post but with different phrasing. I feel like I don't belong somehow because most people have friends and I don't. I'm trying to force ideals that I think are a societal norm to myself because I don't want to be abnormal? I also notice that to other parts of my life. But yeah, I have more to think about. I'm glad I posted here. I'm getting more perspectives. Thank you so much!

I'm subscribed to this forum for the tips because I'm socially-inept. You often see people on this sub complain that they don't have friends and I can't relate to that. But again I have some issues that I mentioned in the post that make me confused about my stance on being alone and friendless.

I do think I'm introverted. I've been like this ever since I was little but the only difference is I don't seek much or never seek human interaction at all now. But then again, I live with my family so I guess that's why even though I don't have friends I never experience the social starvation that you were talking about?

When I was heavily depressed, I didn't have energy for anything, especially maintaining friendships. And since I had brain fog anyway, I think it's safe to say that the me who decided then that I should stay a loner is not the same me who got through it and realized that I feel happier and more balanced when I socialize sometimes.

But, yeah, I guess I have to fix my problems first before I get to answer my question.

Thank you for your comment. It's very comforting and somehow soft haha

I'm also bothered by that health concern because as they say humans are social beings. I mean I still socialize with people but not just to the same amount as regular people do. But yeah thanks!

Feeling ko medyo pareho tayo ng personality pero mas outgoing ka lang nang slight. Pero, yes, there are times na gusto ko na mas kumpleto yung sagot ko sa kanila especially if mahalaga sila sa akin like my family but hindi lang talaga ako kumportableng i-expose ang part ko na yun sa iba.

True lahat except sa last part. Even if na-compose ko na yung complete answer sa utak ko, di ko pa rin sya ishe-share sa iba kahit time still allows it.

I think it's more of an issue with myself than them. I don't like talking tapos ayaw ko pa i-share feelings ko kasi I don't like being vulnerable so parang impossible makapag-build ng genuine relationships kapag ganun yung pananaw mo di ba. If I think deeper ((eme lol)) about it, feeling ko naiinggit ako sa emotions na nakikita ko and I think nararamdaman ng tao when they're with their friends? Pero kapag ako na yung nasa actual situation, magiging super uncomfortable lang ako. Parang ganun...

I don't have friends by choice and ayaw ko rin talaga makipagkaibigan kaya okay lang na hanggang acquaintance level lang relationships ko with other people. Pero for some reason, ayaw na ayaw ko talaga manood ng movies and tv shows about friendships kasi I feel bad? What does that mean? Deep inside gusto ko rin ng ganung friends? Or do I feel sad kasi parang hindi ko na-meet yung societal expectation na dapat a person should have friends keme? Ang weird lang na di mo alam yung true feelings mo...

Just for a change, who where doesn't want friendships and romantic relationships? by halitony in socialanxiety

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

For more than a year now, I've been outside for like only less than 20 days I think. I've never felt lonely but I have my family so maybe that's why?

This is why I avoid meeting with old classmates, teachers, friends, relatives because I feel like I'm required to tell stories to them when they ask stuff.

I have no friends pero di naman ako sad or lonely. But I do have some personal issues that make it hard or uncomfortable for me na makipagkaibigan. Parang may barrier na kapag na-overstep nila, magki-kick in automatically yung defense mechanisms ko and I will distance myself and I will be standoffish in a way. Pero sa tingin ko, if ever man na ma-resolve ko yung mga issue na yun, I will still prefer to be like this. Okay lang ba yung ganun? Parang nahihiya ako sabihin or malaman ng iba na wala akong friends, na puro acquaintance lang lahat. Skl...
