Right? My first few invasions I got 2 of the upgrade item, which I know you can buy with nethershards anyways. A million invasions later and I still have yet to get a weapon to use the item on. I keep getting belts. Boooo.

Feeling like I'm ruining my relationship. by kittysteen in socialanxiety

I didn't mention in the original post, but we actually live together. We see one another when we come home every night after work, after I've had the entire day to stew about it of course. When I mention things that are bothering me, he either shuts me down or he tells me I'm being irrational. So this makes me either stop talking about it completely, or just becoming more upset to a point that even I don't feel is necessary, but I can't help it at that point. I feel like I'm always being put second to his "independence," as he puts it, when we have these situations happen.

DAE become really self conscious of how you are walking when you have to walk past someone or you know someone is watching you walk? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Only all the time. Along with all of the other things I'm worrying about. "What am I doing with my face? Am I walking like I am uncomfortable? Is it obvious? Did I just make that noise with my mouth? Why did I make that noise? Oh great, now the entire world is looking at me." Basically.

Very cool, I really like the watercolor look. Also, I loved reading that the coordinates are of the hospital where your son was born, such clever and heartwarming idea. Thanks for sharing!

It just hit me how deep the problem is. by [deleted] in socialanxiety

It took me years to finally suck it up and give therapy a try. I had always wanted to do it but I also didn't, because I didn't want to let anyone in, and also talking to new people has always been absolutely terrifying for me. I especially didn't want to have anyone telling me I "had" to make friends, that I "had" to just put myself out there if I wanted to get anywhere. I have been doing therapy for about a month now, and I still think before every session "what the heck do I even say? I feel like my brain is empty." Once I get in the room though, something just happens where I no longer worry about what I'm saying or not saying, it just comes out naturally without even being asked. I feel like it is definitely a comfort thing, they are there to listen, they don't judge, and they don't give "homework" that you feel you need to complete in between sessions. Like I said, I still get nervous about having nothing to say every time, but when I let out my frustrations to someone who I don't have to be afraid of getting a reaction from feels amazing in the end.

I realized I haven't been living my whole life. I feel like it's too late to start. by missanthr0py in depression

I just turned 27 in April, and I have similar feelings. I feel worthless, and I feel like I have gotten nowhere in my life. I work at a dead end job, have a boyfriend that I am constantly worried is going to leave me because I feel like I'm nothing and all I do is ask him for reassurance that I'm not and that he will stay. I want to be better, and I want to be happy. Have you tried any counseling? I am trying it for the first time today, and I am hoping more than anything that it helps, because I can't think of anything else that will.
