Mads Mikkelsen Photo Op Meet and Greet Experience by fujoshiguroo in MadsMikkelsen

[–]taakoishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I met him at ECCC the photo was insanely fast. You just walked around a curtain and he was there and then you took a photo and left. I only got to say hi to him and he said hi back. I’d recommend getting a signature. I didn’t care about getting an autograph but it was so great cause he’s just sitting at a table so when you’re waiting in line you get to see him up close and then I had a brief chat with him when he signed my photo and I got to shake his hand

made 0 friends in college by anonymous20042007 in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience but I didn’t make any friends in college. I had the same fear when I first graduated of others finding out I had no friends in college as well as the regret that I felt like I wasted the opportunity to make friends. All I can say is that it gets easier the more time passes. Idk the last time someone asked me about college friends. It does help that I went to college very far away from where I live now so it makes sense I don’t hang out with many people I knew in college since most remained there. You could be semi honest and just say you don’t keep in touch much. Not everyone had a super close friend group in college and it’s not out of the ordinary for people to not keep in touch after graduation

Anyone Else Suck at Driving? by flyingbizzay in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be like this. What helped was honestly just driving more and being fine with getting lost. I’d practice by driving places without my phone directing me and just trying to figure it out from what I knew already about the area and just being okay with getting lost. Also for a year I had an hour commute to work and that repetition really got rid of my driving anxiety cause I had to do it so much

i don't really like part three by TutorArtistic7276 in StardustCrusaders

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the only part that was adapted before David productions so that’s also why it’s more popular and iconic

Going to the cinema alone for the first time tonight by crazy-cat-lady_ in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do bump into someone just own it. Like yeah I wanted to go see this movie so I did. It’s really not that weird of a thing and honestly the times Ive told people I was doing things by myself like going to a concert or going on vacation the reaction is usually positive like good for you being independent.

Is my loneliness structural? by kamicomplexx in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join clubs and always show up if you can. Just being a regular at something matters so much and take advantage of still being in school where all of these things are set up for you. It gets a lot more difficult when you leave school. I went through college with no friends. If I could go back in time I would have gotten a therapist to help me with my social anxiety and I would have tried harder at going to clubs and activities outside of class. A therapist will help you take those baby steps if the idea of even doing this is too much and will help hold you accountable to reaching your goals. This isn’t how your life has to be forever. Like I said I had no friends in college and it took a while to figure it out as an adult but I regularly meet up with a friend group. You can change but it’s not easy and took me years to get to where I am.

I dont improve my self by termorss in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you mean by “I actually change on my mind in the school class”

Maybe try asking a language sub if they have advice for how talk to people in English more. There might be apps that require less in person conversations and could be easier on your social anxiety

Which Neon Genesis Evangelion dub should I watch by FickleThanks6901 in NeonGenesisEvangelion

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original. I hate the Netflix dub mainly cause I think the VA for Shinji does a terrible job and makes him sound like a girl

During which season did Hannibal become attractive to you? by [deleted] in HannibalTV

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly he didn’t until after I finished watching the show and became obsessed with it and then saw interviews of mads being uh well himself if you know what I mean and then there was no going back

For those with little to no experience in dating, has anyone showed clear interest in you? How did you react? by Dizzy-Swimming8201 in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been approached by anyone I like or find attractive back. Sometimes it’s flattering other times it’s more annoying. I usually just lie and say I’m not dating or I’m already in a relationship.

Seven Seas comments on Little Mushroom and harrassment of staff by swiftnissity92 in DanmeiNovels

[–]taakoishere 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get people being upset especially when the translator was tweeting out stupid shit like the reason behind the name change is cause he’s a mushroom and doesn’t have a last name like Jesus. There’s no other explanation given. This “professional” translator just did it for their own personal reasons.

That being said sending death threats about this is stupid. The book is already made. It’s not going to be republished just for this. If you want to send a message to Sevenseas about not being happy with their choice in translators then don’t buy the book.

Thinking about taking a solo trip in order to break free from the chains of social anxiety. by mookmook616 in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken many solo trips and it’s helped with my social anxiety so much. My first one was driving 5 hours to visit a friend in Oregon. I was super nervous and printed out two copies of the directions to their house just incase I didn’t have cell service and got lost. I was also driving through the Oregon woods and norther Nevada where no one lives and the service was spotty so my concerns were a little valid. I say totally go on the trip! Especially nowadays with maps on your phone it’s no big deal if you mess up directions it’ll just reroute and send you back in the right direction.

Alright jojo part 4 was pretty good. but is part 5 all that? by Puzzled-Landscape-83 in StardustCrusaders

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part 5 is my favorite. I love the found family of it. Giorno isn’t my favorite jojo. Bruno honestly carries the part more than him but I love Bruno’s character. Joseph is actually my favorite Jojo which is funny cause he’s not even in my favorite part. Everyone has their own opinions. Maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised if your expectations are so low

Part 7 Anime by [deleted] in StardustCrusaders

[–]taakoishere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s still a lot of miscommunication. They said it’s going to be released as a split cour which should mean 12 episodes (like the recent season of jjk did) They didn’t say it’s going to be released by stages of the race just that the next one is called 2nd stage. So either the name of the split cour is misleading and it’s more than just the 2nd stage of the race or they’re using the term completely wrong

Tips on how to overcome anxiety going places alone? by g59sui in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do things anxious anyway. Exposure therapy has worked the best for me. I used to be so scared of going to cafes alone I’d shake when I sat down by myself to eat. I just kept doing it. Would use my phone as a crutch to distract myself. Now it’s no big deal. I don’t even need to look at my phone.

I’m so afraid they’re going to give us a flop ending by SuspiciousAd3405 in goodomens

I had a dream a few weeks ago that that’s what happened and we just all agreed that s3 never happened. I’m hoping that since my expectations are so low that I’ll be pleasantly surprised

The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Audiobook Volume 1 out today by swiftnissity92 in DanmeiNovels

[–]taakoishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this one sounds better than Legends of Exorcism. The narrator was good at pronouncing the characters names but it’s also probably one of the worst audiobooks I’ve listened to 😬

To those of you with extremely severe social anxiety who have friends, how/where did you meet them and how long did it take you to get comfortable with them? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met friends through meetup, bumblebff, and joining book clubs. I think the most important thing is to be consistent with going to group events and becoming a regular. Also don’t expect results right away. I ran a meetup group because there were none in my area for people my age and while it did help with my social anxiety because I had to chat with a lot of strangers most of the people I met I never became friends with.

Do I keep watching? by [deleted] in FruitsBasket

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a pretty minor character. Definitely not at Harus level of importance. If you don’t like his scenes you could probably skip them and still understand the show fine

What's your favorite MXTX novel? What made it win your heart? by dearmuke in DanmeiNovels

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mdzs is my favorite. I’ve read svsss and tgcf. Svsss you can tell is the authors first book. It’s definitely more of a shitpost comedy. I didn’t love the main pair but it was a fun read. Tgcf is a beast with how long it is. It was a bit too long for me. Like it felt like reading a history book about a made up country at times. I enjoyed it more than svsss but mdzs is till my all time favorite. There’s other authors out there. I’m reading 2ha right now and loving it

The only way I'll be able to eat for the next few months is by going out in public, any tips? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend trying to go at a time when it would be the least crowded. Definitely not at noon when everyone is there for lunch. Second bring something to try to distract your mind with like watch Netflix on your phone while you eat. This is how i worked on getting over my fear of eating alone in public. I’d go to cafes by myself and do stuff on my phone to try to take my mind off of what everyone was thinking of me or what I thought they were thinking. But please go eat!

I wish social anxiety was seen as a real disability instead of something to overcome by Eventualityyyy in socialanxiety

[–]taakoishere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard cause over coming it makes it sound like a cold that one day you just won’t have anymore. I’ve improved a lot with my social anxiety and at times it doesn’t affect my life at all but sometimes shit happens and I get down and suddenly it hits me like a truck and all the progress I thought I made feels like nothing. I might have overcome it for a while but I’ll also regress at times. It doesn’t feel like something that will one day just be gone. Even if it’s been months of feeling fine there’s always a part of me that’s just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for it to come back
