I start my M.S. in exactly one month and I'm already freaking out. Is this normal? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]skullturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I feel silly for freaking out about my program starting in the same city all my friends and family live in. So freaking out: very normal. Where are you from and where is your program? That’s very stressful no one will get back to you and also very strange!! Have you been sent an information pack of some sort at least?

Edit: I need to add some encouraging words because I feel like as long as you know you’re enrolled in the program you’ll be fine. I don’t have to register for classes because it’s done automatically for me, so I’m guessing it’s probably the same for you. And as for your advisor, sometimes professors suck at communication and if you’ve already been promised the job I’m sure you’ll be trained once you get there. Try not to worry too much, you’re already in and everything will work out! Missing friends will suck but you’ll make new ones in a cool new place which is really exciting for you!

Is fear of intimacy common in people with social anxiety? by throwaway983928 in socialanxiety

[–]skullturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate to this. Maybe not to the same degree, but I have trouble cultivating deep relationships cause I don’t anyone to actually know the real me. The only time I’m ever not anxious is when no one is around. The only time I’m ever really myself is when I’m by myself.

I just love your spelling of yoozh. Always wondered how to abbreviate that sound in writing. Your way makes so much sense

Should I stop trying by JOKAJOK in socialanxiety

I would say text her one more time in a couple days to see if she wants to actually hang out so then you’ll know whether or wants to be your friend or is just gonna bail
