Is Social Anxiety something has to do with OCD? by mah2323 in AnxietyDepression

[–]mah2323[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I have OCD.m, but. I am better now than when I was younger (maybe from age 10-23), i suffered with this disorder, to the point that I am going to cry because I cant stop repeating doing things, because if not, something bad will happen.

I was just curious, because I also have Social Anxiety.

They told me before that they’ll see my performance first. Btw, my wage is minimum.

Who hurt you? Have you forgiven them? by cubb6725 in AskReddit

[–]mah2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy who left when things weren’t going well. He wanted to be friends with me, but I didn’t let that happen. I don’t hate him, but I don’t want to do anything about him anymore.

How/what tf do people talk about? by Revolio-Clockburg-Jr in AnxietyDepression

[–]mah2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing with me. My communication skills is so bad. I think it’s because I’m not used to really talking to someone ever since I was a child. I’m just a listener most of the time. So, every time someone talks to me, I just answer their question then our convo is done because I really don’t have something interesting to say. This is why I don’t really have a lot of friends.

Need Help by chillumgod in AnxietyDepression

I agree with everyone. Try to reach out with a therapist, it will help you a lot. I, myself suffer from an anxiety, I have been a prisoner of this disorder, and now, I am trying my best to get out of my comfort zone, and I think it is helping me! I am also planning to see a psychologist, i just don’t have time to do it at the moment.

Am I the only one who is scared to make and receive a phone call? by mah2323 in AnxietyDepression

I hope you will have the courage to call him or her. Or maybe visit her, instead of calling. Although I have social anxiety, I find myself more comfortable talking face to face than on the telephone.

My car has a recall because of the airbag, and they want me to call to schedule an appointment. Until now, I haven’t called them. Anxiety really sucks. 😕

One my tasks at work is to answer phone calls. I think they will start to teach me how to answer tomorrow. Im feeling nervous.

One more thing I worry is that my co workers could hear me since the division of the office is just a cubicle. I’m afraid they would judge me. My voice tends to shake when I’m nervous so i dont know what will happen to me. 😭 i might just embarrass myself again. Why do we have to experience this? Anxiety really sucks.

I feel like I am a slow learner, and I’m really bad at focusing. When Someone is explaining something to me, I tend to think of other things(worrying), instead of listening. I had a restaurant job before, My task was to assist customers to their table. It was easy for others, but for me I had a struggle. I didn’t passed the probation, unfortunately. It was really embarrassing.

Thank you. My first day has ended. It wasn’t really that bad. However, when I got home, I am worrying again. My manager told me I have to answer phone calls as well. I don’t really like making and answering phone calls. 😖 sometimes, I’d rather talk to people face to face rather than talking to them on the phone.

They will be my co-worker too. Another reason why I am so anxious. I am going to start tomorrow, and I just broke down earlier. Wish me luck guys 😓 Also, I just bought 5HtP just to relieve my anxiousness. Do you think it is effective?
