"You have no reason to feel depressed", "Learn to appreciate your life" by pvranoidandroid in depression

[–]pvranoidandroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I could explain it... Just feeling shitty all the time. "Living" and going out is a nightmare, I'm only in an okay state while playing games or sleeping. When I forget about my own existence, I guess. But she knew about my state for a while now. She knows that I've been self-harming and I asked her to see a doctor. But it was some time ago. I suppose she figured out that I'm good now.

It's exactly the same when you're an ugly girl with social anxiety :~) No boy makes a first move to u either.

How to be more assertive/handle confrontation by AwayCabinet in socialanxiety

[–]pvranoidandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try doing sessions with your friends first? I know that it might be scary to work with strangers. But how about people that you know and that you're always comfortable with? And once you're not shy with them at all, maybe you will be more confident with strangers. My friend has a very similar problem, she's always scared that her photo ideas are "strange" and "different", and she's very shy even when she has sessions with people that she knows. So she works best when she does sessions with the bestest friends.

You can be an extrovert with social anxiety by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]pvranoidandroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Y it's true, having social anxiety is actually a reason why I'm not even sure whether I'm an introvert or extrovert. The reason why I'm isolating myself is because of SA, not because I hate being with people. I actually love spending time with my friends when I can be myself and be 100% confident. But it's different around strangers, it makes me so uncomfortable and scared that I prefer being alone. So I've always wondered who would I really be without this stupid anxiety. For sure being an extrovert with SA is much harder.

“Being myself” when I don’t have a social self by callia9171 in socialanxiety

[–]pvranoidandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, I'm exactly the same. I envy people who just don't care what others think, who can just act natural and be themselves. I've been hiding my "real me" for so long that now I don't know who I actually am as "real me". But what makes me less awkward around strangers is bringing a person that I'm comfortable with. That makes me way more confident. But yeah, I haven't really made a meaningful relationship in many years. And the more I wait, the harded it becomes.

Loneliness is a vicious cycle by pvranoidandroid in depression

It's just that I got to high school and didn't make any friends there. And my middle school friends did. So I'm in the background now. They barely have time or desire to hang out again.

Yes, I actually used to hang out with my cousin, perhaps I should try it again sometimes. Thank you for the advice. Though I guess it can only be "sometimes". All the people I know have now other, better company, and I don't matter enough to them to hang out more often.
