I've been lurking these forums for a while and it just seems to me like everyone here is so miserable. Just like me...
I don't know, this just feels so wrong, don't you think? A lot of us are just posting here to whine about how awful our lives is... and it seems like there's nothing we can do to make it better.
I wish I have a different life...A life with a bunch of friends and a girlfriend and a fun outgoing personality.. that's what I want. Except I have an awful self image because I think i'm just not attractive, and I have awful social skills, and anxiety that makes daily life very uncomfortable. So I know I'll never have that life because as soon as I actually take the first step to try to change, I'll instantly sink back into my shell because of my low self esteem that leads to social anxiety. I'm stuck and there's nothing I can do!
So that's my story, we all have one. And it looks like a lot of people are stuck in the same situation as me.
How are we supposed to get "better"?! nothing ever changes, I bet many of us have been trying for so long. For me, I've tried therapy, medication, and I've had good people trying to help me... in the end, I always go back to my shell and give up on my goals..
It's nice to be on a forum where people are actually going through the same things I am. I truly understand what it's like when some of you mention how ugly you feel on the outside and how you feel like roadkill on the inside. It's.. comforting, but it seems all most of us is doing is venting and actual change is nearly impossible..
Am I wrong about this? are things not as hopeless as it seems right now?
