Idk, maybe it's society that tricks us into thinking it's existence itself. I think it depends on the person, each perspective and experience is different yet valid. At a minimum, society can and should be structured so it does not exacerbate the pain of existence.I wish the problem was society, and not existence itself.
Yah, this. I think it depends why your SA manifests itself. For me part of my problem is that I sometimes have difficulty communicating effectively and that never goes away, even if I get to know someone better. It's always a challenge and so can make communicating difficult and anxiety provoking. It all depends on what the underlying cause of your anxiety is. So many different reasons why someone can feel anxious in social situations.Sometimes I read in books or online where people say they have social anxiety, and then later they would mention they have a bunch of close friends and are married or in a long-term committed relationship. Not to diminish their suffering, but I just can't relate at all. My impression is that for a lot of these people, their social anxiety mainly shows up as physical symptoms (getting flustered, heart pounding, etc), and it gets better over time once they get to know the other person and become relaxed around them. But in my case, I had social anxiety for most of my life, and I feel like it almost gets worse the longer I know someone - it's like I get imposter syndrome and sooner or later they're gonna find out I have no personality (because I actually don't).
Whoa..imagine turning 21 on 12/21/22 (or even better 12/21/21). That'd be one hell of a party, for sure.That is so weird... I took this photo today because of the number sequence.
At my local drugstore. You have to be 21 or older to buy cigarettes. 12/21/01. Not as cool as 12/21/12 though even though it'll be 12/22/22 soon.
No idea what alien tape is but let's connect more dots by saying that the Mayans were also contacted by aliens.
