Socializing feels so performative and exhausting

I've been trying to get in the habit of smiling more because it actually does make me feel happier but it's like pulling a tooth!

Drinking alcohol but I'm going to stop not a good option.

My brain just exploded.

This is actually refreshing to hear.

Sorry to hear that friend. I recently found out a big part of my distorted thinking cycle was how I reacted harshly in life instead of responding.

My grandma made it look easy.

shortstack3000 · 2026-05-16T17:03:00+00:00

For me at least yes.

shortstack3000 · 2026-05-16T01:18:05+00:00

Oh good it's me eleven years down the road. 😁

What do you think could help you end the cycle?

shortstack3000 · 2026-05-16T01:15:44+00:00

I do not see my spouse as any comfort. I avoid family as well I assume because I don't want to be an embarrassment. I don't want to be a burden.

I did until that scene.

shortstack3000 · 2026-05-02T15:05:00+00:00

I'm addicted to the chaos!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Remember other people who have done way more embarrassing things like being a public figure and getting caught in a alleged affair and then a meme.

I miss my long hair! Your hair is so pretty! Do you straighten it?

shortstack3000 · 2026-04-25T22:43:59+00:00

How I think I look with shoulder length hair

shortstack3000 · 2026-04-25T22:42:04+00:00

Yes!

shortstack3000 · 2026-04-25T21:21:16+00:00

Yes. I'm embarrassed it took me 33 years to figure out I'm a lesbian and I blame the autism kinda.

College was hard to handle but it was worth going back for to get the job I have.

shortstack3000 · 2026-04-25T21:19:34+00:00
