Social Anxiety Support

lastofthekews · 02-25-2010, 12:25 PM

that i'm being railroaded into something i don't want, and someone who knows me better than most (and is one of the few who knows I have social anxiety, rather than jsut being shy) put me in this situation.

I drank two snapple juices and the sugar is getting to me.

I'm worried about my friend. I know he was supposed to be driving in this snowstorm. He's an hour late and hasn't replied to any of my messages...

Oh no! I'm so freakin' sorry. That's so incredibly rough.

How old was he/she? I know it's hard right now, but you gotta focus on the good times you had together!

And remember that animals don't see death in the same way humans do. Homo sapiens are really the only species who worry about things such as death, while to other animals it's just part of life. They enjoy life in the moment and don't think about "one day i am going to die". Sure, animals certainly can experience grief but they are much better at moving past things than we are.

Since you said dogs in plural you obviously have one or more dogs still with you. I think the best thing you can do to honor your fallen companion is to continue providing happiness to the ones who remain and take a good lesson from all their wisdom in that you should enjoy every moment oyu have with them and don't focus on the bad that isn't happening "right now", if that makes any sense.

I'm rambling...

I really hope you're okay, loosing a dog is sad beyond anything I could ever put into words.

Lots of hugs and kisses!

That I have so little energy.

I need a new job but I'm too scared to apply for anything.

stars · 02-25-2010, 02:20 PM

^ Same, i need to get a job, sent one application out, no reply, too scared to apply to anything else.
Also,
I can't cope with studies/socializing at university.
People keep asking why i'm quiet and it makes me feel abnormal.
I feel so immature and unable to socialize compared to other people my age, or even younger.
If i looked better, things would be easier.
I'm too dependent on my parents.

Thanks.

I had another talk but it was only brief, just to find out the level of her insecurity. It was a great relief to learn she wasn't rejecting me.

I have in the past and it led to an argument so I let it go. There's always an assumption that because I'm soft spoken, I can't take charge...well he's wrong...gosh darn it...lol Thanks for asking.

Lol! I can't read things if they're hand written these days I blame technology. Aw I hope it's nothing serious, do you at least know who it's from?

The fact that half the time I open a thread on here, for whatever reason the font is like 10 sizes bigger and I have to refresh to make it go back to normal.

SO ANNOYING!

AussiePea · 02-25-2010, 07:37 PM
