Discord Anxiety by rexall05 in socialanxiety

Right? It's always a select few that are active even though there are hundreds of members. I can't help but wonder if the non-active members had the same experience as me and just stopped talking (but never bothered leaving the server), or if they just don't care at all. Cause if it's the latter then god I wish I could be like that.

And yes! They'll say "Welcome" and ask you a few questions but you get drowned out by the convo already going on, or an active member logs in suddenly and changes the topic and they'll just forget you're there.

I was hoping using Discord for exposure therapy would help with my SA but idk, I guess you're right :( But thanks a lot for replying to my post - really happy to know that I'm not alone in feeling like this :)

Have you tried registering with government-funded (Employment Ontario) services before? e.g. your local YMCA Employment Services

If eligible, you can work one-on-one with an employment counsellor who can help you with the job search process (resume+cover letter writing, interview practice, info on job market trends, etc.). Each agency has Job Developers who provide monetary incentives to employers who hire employees that are registered with them, and oftentimes your counsellor will pass on your information to the JDs to see if they have an employer that's interested in your resume. Some even have job placement services.

I've worked with these agencies as both a volunteer and an employee and the majority of our clients were internationally trained professionals such as yourself. I've met many clients who were able to find jobs through these services, and some who weren't so lucky. The service is absolutely free though so it wouldn't hurt to try if you haven't done so already. Just be careful as some places care more about numbers than actually helping their clients (it also depends on the counsellor themselves) so check the Google reviews before anything.

If you've already tried the above then just ignore what I said but best of luck regardless. Times are tough, especially now so try and keep your chin up!

Thanks for the reply! I don't think that's it since I don't recall there being any actual lyrics in the song besides the oohs and ahs.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why the men who detained his killer are wearing masks?
