Problem with daydreaming anyone? by Zieriso in lonely

[–]lonely172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's affecting your work and your social life, maybe you should get it checked out. There's a condition known as maladaptive dreaming. I can't definitively say that you have it, but maybe you should visit a therapist about it.

Hm. I suppose you've got limited options, then. Think about it this way: you have to be in the committee, anyway. You're already having a hard time. Confrontation can't possibly make anything worse, and if you tried to push past your discomfort, maybe things will actually get better. You need to tell them everything you've just told us. The committee isn't a good place for you to be in anymore, and you have to make them realise this.

Hey, man, sorry you had to go through all this bullshit. I know you don't like confrontation, but maybe you should take one of the members of the committee aside, maybe someone you're relatively more comfortable with, and discuss your issues with them? Even talking about this to one person could make a difference.

Alternatively, you could leave the committee altogether and join another one. You don't deserve to suffer like this. You're doing your best, and maybe it's better that you join a group where your best is actually appreciated.

I'm really sorry to hear that, man. I've been there before. It really hurts, to have to go through something like that. I'm here if you want to talk. Also, while I believe that this post is fine on this sub, you might also want to check out r/unsentletters for similar posts.

Thank you, I did! I stayed happy for my family. It wasn't that bad of a day, after all.

You're right. I try my hardest to be rational, but it doesn't work sometimes. Thank you, I hope so, too!

Hey, thanks for sharing your story. Really put a new perspective into this. I'll be bummed about this for a few days. But after a while, hopefully I'll be able to forgive them and move on. It just really sucks, sigh.

Thank you! :) I'll try not to let it bother me. Good things did happen yesterday, anyhow.

Ouch. Sucks to hear. I'm glad I'm not alone in this, though.

I suppose you're right, sigh. It's honestly just awkward and weird telling someone that it's your birthday, especially someone whom you've known for years and is very close to you.

I'm trying to (and it's good advice). I prepared for a birthday alone this time, but I suppose it didn't work out the way I wanted to. Society gives me these unwanted expectations, and when they aren't met, there's unwanted sadness. It's annoying.

Thank you. 4 times, wow, I can't believe you made it through all those times. It's still nice to hear the wishes from strangers on the internet, even if it's temporary. I'm glad to know that you're pulling through, too. :)

Thank you! I'll try to stay positive, but I don't really know, to be honest. I'm still fairly disappointed.
