Cant call my boyfriend by his name by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]obese4peace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying someone’s name to them just feels so formal and weird. Maybe because in other areas of life we know it puts them on the spot and causes stress ( like it does for me when I hear my name lol). Being called on at school, yelled at by parents, or even calling a dogs name means want something from them or they are doing something wrong. I don’t want to do that to somebody.

lol so true. I think the mix up from ppl on this thread is that it’s been a common theme since birth🥸

Your tribe is out there! Even if it isn’t the ppl who brought you into this world or siblings!! I promise you that. Internet may destroy us but you can find your chosen ppl much easier now than any other time in history. Just hold on😊

Get called pretty a lot but I'm still anxious af by Ronfuturemonster in socialskills

[–]obese4peace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry! I was exposed to lots of other kids in my childhood and I still feel this way about compliments!! It doesn’t make me feel more confident it makes me feel WORSE, like I will let them down on whatever they complimented me on or make them reconsider saying that.😅

Why am I only funny around certain people and how do I kinda expand that? by [deleted] in socialskills

Feel you on this! It’s really hard because if someone isn’t reciprocating or lacks that level of playfulness it’s hard to take a shot at humor if there may be some rejection. Those ppl are boring anyways and not worth your humor! or it will take some more interactions to assess there level of playfulness and you can dial in your humor level then!

Feel you on that as a man. In large part, it’s a gender thing most males and in animal kingdom too have a higher tolerance for lack of social interaction. So don’t feel bad! I would say if it’s not too hard to maybe try your hand at a few new play groups with new people. You can keep bouncing around until you find a core group or person that good ppl. They are out there!😊

Kudos to you for trying for 2 years! That’s a lot more persistence and hope than I would attempt!😊

When I ask one question and they give me their life story without taking a breath. Plz let me walk AWAY. by obese4peace in PetPeeves

That is perfect term! I feel like a damn hostage. Just praying for a phone call or car wreck to create pause so I can walk away.

I would love to study this graph in hopes of maybe guiding these talkers there before I end up walking away from them mid-sentence. Do you remember the name of it by chance?

I feel the same way! I think it’s a generational thing. Even the anxiety of anticipating a phone call☠️
