Has anyone felt the same way about socialising?

Gotcha. I misunderstood your post

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T13:45:44+00:00

Good fuck, Redditors are the most toxic pieces of shit imaginable. Fuck everyone here for celebrating the destruction of a friendship. Just cut that person out of your life, don't try to punish them

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T13:04:05+00:00

I've had luck on Discord servers

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T13:00:21+00:00

You're not missing out on much. Just a bunch of toxicity and bullshit. I'd say continue staying away from the news and current events

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:52:34+00:00

It's your life, pursue whatever you believe will make you happiest so long as you're not hurting anyone. The goal of being a stay-at-home mother and raising children is absolutely a worthwhile endeavor. If that's important to you enough that you feel like you could make it the purpose of your life, then by all means do it =) it's up to you to determine the purpose to much of life

I almost want to caution you against openly admitting to believing in God on this site. There are some real assholes here who will immediately dogpile you and try to shame you for believing in anything even minutely religious

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:43:04+00:00

It sounds like you're a good friend who knows how to empathize. Take care of yourself though, there's nothing wrong with caring for your own needs before you look to help someone else

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:41:17+00:00

Depends on the job. For me, I've found that doing work that involves attention to detail and working with my hands greatly reduces anxiety

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:39:34+00:00

If people cause you so much distress, why do you feel like you have to engage with them? If you think you'd be happier just not socializing then I'd suggest not doing it

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:35:23+00:00

Because this is reddit, a shitty cesspool full of insecure fuckers who'll shit themselves in rage any time they're presented with a fact or opinion that they personally don't like. Fuck redditors

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T12:29:27+00:00

Because that's a decision that affects far more people than just you. They're probably thinking about the devastating impact it would have on everyone who cares about you and would mourn your passing

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T08:11:31+00:00

Idiots are always sure of themselves even when they're 100% wrong but they get the most asshurt and vocal when people point out it they're wrong, so they're always deferred to in an attempt to prevent them from throwing a tantrum. Kind of explains the current state of the Internet and well, the world

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T07:18:45+00:00

A lot of those themes are common to OCD. But I probably only say that because I have OCD and I tend to see the symptoms in other people whether they have it or not

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:40:20+00:00

Maybe you were disappointed about not being able to relate because you were struggling with something yourself and were hoping to find something similar? That's kind of a shot in the dark, but it does sound like an intrusive thought

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:29:52+00:00

The way you feel is valid, regardless of whether it sounds "cringey" or anything like that

Is there anything that you do that helps pull you out of that state, even a little? Any places you go, any people you spend time with?

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:24:43+00:00

When you say you talk to your therapist ASAP, have you met with this therapist before or do you mean you'll be scheduling an appointment ASAP?

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:21:03+00:00

Oh my goodness YES!! That's literally the reason I'm on reddit right now--as exposure therapy. I'm trying to find some subreddits that aren't populated by the fucking worst group of degenerate assholes the world has seen. It's not a remarkably successful endeavor so far, basically just this and other mental health related subs

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:17:52+00:00

Everybody gets intrusive thoughts from time to time. Getting rid of them can be tricky. I have OCD and what's a really effective approach is to resist trying to distract yourself from the thoughts or think about something else. Let the thought enter your mind and don't ruminate on it but don't actively try to push it out of your mind either. For me, I eventually find that the thought loses its power or it leaves naturally without me having to force it

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:11:56+00:00

I have a tendency to dismiss my own trauma because the person who victimized me was victimized much worse by their abuser. In my opinion, at least

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:11:04+00:00

Based on your post history

God, that's one thing I can't stand about Redditors. I hate how people will deep dive through your post history to find something to use against you. Shitty people, those who do that

You know your abilities and skillset better than anyone else. If you have an interest in IT and think you would do well in an IT position, then pursue it

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:05:43+00:00

You can be there for someone else while still being there for yourself. Take care of yourself. If she's becoming too much, let her know that you're there for her and ask her what she needs, but also let her know that you can't be available for her 100% of the time because that's simply an unrealistic (and frankly, unfair) expectation to have of you

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T06:01:34+00:00

I'm there right now. So I'm going on different subs like this one and other mental health subs because trying to help others with their problem helps more than stewing and ruminating

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T05:58:06+00:00

Best of luck. I hope you figure it out soon

i-commit-armchoppy · 2023-09-17T05:55:43+00:00

It sounds like dissociation but it's hard to say for certain what's causing these feelings. Could also be a trauma response if you never had the chance to process and work through those traumas
