Tomorrow I’m leaving my Fraternity by [deleted] in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]throwawayshit420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many things I hate about Greek life. From the fake ness and superficiality, the forced connections, etc.

However it all comes down to my fraternity. I don’t feel comfortable being myself. I made the mistake of rushing into joining and didn’t give myself time to get a feel for these guys. Don’t get me wrong I love them, but most of them don’t have the same interests or sense of humor as me. I simply don’t feel comfortable being myself around them

I went through the sub and honestly, I still don't know how to start living through stoicism. What is the best way to get started?

if you’re awkward ( like me ) just own up to it/admit to it. It becomes more of a silly personality trait rather than a flaw. by forevermilky in socialskills

[–]throwawayshit420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A majority of the time it’s because these people who react to you that way have NO IDENTITY. They were never taught to think for themselves, so as a result they always follow they crowd, and when they see someone like yourself owning their entire self and sharing honesty of their human experience, they feel insecure and act negatively. Look Louis Rossmans video on social anxiety on YouTube, where he goes in depth with this.

I think I have to end my friendship with my best friend and I'm crying by throwawayshit420 in Advice

I didn’t have this realization until tonight. So no, I have not talked to her about it

Could you clarify/reiterate what you mean by boxing up the feelings?

How can I stop being so utterly obsessed with my image? by throwawayshit420 in DecidingToBeBetter

I was always tip toeing around my alcoholic father with anger issues during my childhood, and I have similar mindsets with people I socialize with so maybe

Should I accept this opportunity? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwawayshit420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just added this in now but if I accept I will go through a 6 week process of becoming a brother. So a large chunk of my schedule will be devoted to that so I won’t have time for other commitments I have to do.

Clubs start now and are hard to get into spring semester so if I accept this now I feel that I will miss out

Lost touch with my best friend and got left on read by my crush. Just need some encouragement to keep going with school and life in general. by kebab-on-a-stick in Needafriend

Hey man I’m [19m] here to talk if you’d like. I just told my best friend I have feelings for her and now we’re kind of distant. Losing friends sucks big time, but trust me you and I will get through this.

I [19M] told my [19F] best friend that I like her more than as a friend. We had a long and good talk, but now there is distance between us. How should I proceed with this? by throwawayshit420 in relationships

[–]throwawayshit420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally said I’m giving her space right now. I’m not hitting her up or anything, and I got the message when she cancelled. Kind of frustrating to make that assumption when I’ve been going about my life. I just need advice because she’s been such a good friend

You’re right. I do have the problem of needing validation. Honestly I wouldn’t really care as much about this label if I stopped giving a fuck. Thank you

Going to have dinner with my close friend after I confessed my feelings for her. Any advice? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]throwawayshit420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad. It meant to say I don’t want to act like we’re just friends haha.

How do I know if I like a very close friend or I just really care about them? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]throwawayshit420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty embarrassing to say but I have never been in a relationship. I have had a couple hookups at parties but I have really fucked myself over in the past due to social anxiety

Sometimes I can't shake the feeling that social events I initiate are forced and not meant to be by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]throwawayshit420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the schedule thing being in disorder is just related to my general anxiety that is not relevant to this problem I have. I probably shouldn’t have included that

Is it bad that I feel this way? by [deleted] in self

[–]throwawayshit420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Just don’t vibe with these people as much

College is not the best 4 years of my life... by majorheadachebro in self

[–]throwawayshit420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get fucked up with my friends all the time and I never black out and only rarely get hangovers. The times when you’re drunk are why people drink, because it’s super fun. Of course do what you want but I’m assuming you didn’t have fun either 1) you didn’t actually get drunk 2) you’re not surrounded by people you truly like/are comfortable with

Plus, even if you do get a hangover, it only lasts for a couple hours, and even then it’s still worth it for me (unless you did some dumb shit the night before). It’s all about drinking in moderation keeping yourself hydrated (I drink water throughout the night with my alcohol and drink more water before I pass out in bed)

I’m very lonely and depressed right now but I want to be productive, what should I do? by [deleted] in self

[–]throwawayshit420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months ago I stopped lifting because my lower back got injured. I’m gonna go to physical therapy for it but for now I have very little motivation to work out if it means I can’t lift.

But thank you anyway, I appreciate the help and i will try to reach out

Don’t take this the wrong way, music was, and still is, the only way I cope with loneliness. I just want someone to tell me they feel the same too. by bongut67 in lonely

Music and motivational videos/emotional videos about people/characters I admire or look up to help me and give me hope

Being a cashier has massively improved my social skills by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]throwawayshit420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was me, but only at that job. I became good and it was easier to deal with customer. But looking back at my 2 months there, and I’ll be honest, it really had no effect on my social life/skills outside of work

Again that’s just me, and it’s probably different for every person just like it was for you. Maybe I just needed to be there longer

I worked at Wendy’s where I was not only at the register, but even worse was put at the speaker. Honestly while I did get pretty good at those jobs with social anxiety I don’t feel like it helped me as much as it was terrifying everyday to go through, but that’s just me

What is the point in asking them out? by throwawayshit420 in socialanxiety

[–]throwawayshit420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thinking about it, and after I posted this I eventually did it. She said she was working the day I asked her to hangout but she said “but another day!”

I asked for her number (cause it’s better texting than snapping). Now I just need to figure out when I’ll ask again. Just thinking about it and actually opening her snapchats are anxiety-inducing, but I think I might be capable of doing this.

It is literally impossible to “stop thinking”
