One word: Snowboardinggoggles

Related to my last post, and it may have subconsciously arisen out of it: I've also recently realized--or maybe I am resurrecting a past realization in different words--that perhaps a source of my inability to think or speak articulately in many situations is because I have two simultaneous...

Maybe because there's more pressure on you for you to speak and keep a conversation going in the former situation? In the latter scenarios you have a common topic to discuss so it's easier to make conversation, and generally you don't have to keep it going for long because there is always...

I can hang around people just fine. Get along with them, joke with them, be funny, and relatable. But if I feel threatened, intimidated, or uncomfortable, which is, say, 40% of the time, then all of that goes out of the window. This means that I have it in me, but it's blocked off much of the...

For me, I believe I have to do things that build my confidence. That means success in situations that I fear, until I am consistently successful in them over time. That means sticking to my principles. That means building skills that I believe a competent person should have, and being that...

Very sorry to hear about your grandfather. Get some sleep. :sleep:

I realize that I am living in a heavy sphere of shame.

Does "tradesman" have a specific meaning in Australia? Or do you really just hate carpenters and electricians? :LOL:

Fuck 'em. Go get it my friend.

This is how I'm feelin Funky, in case it wasn't obvious.

Whenever I watch a television show or movie, I always get caught up in the costumes, makeup, the way people look, the set, whether or not a character is believable, errors, etc. I just find these things really interesting, or at least subconsciously prioritize them over the plot. In one show...

And arguably just as hard or harder than trying to fit in! Probably lots of lonely, bitter nights and, if you're trying to make a living based on that unconventionality... many, many ketchup sandwiches to be eaten.

Wow, that sounds pretty epic taken out of context. Like something taken out of LOTR.

I think the source of our sickness is our own mind. I think, for many of us, anxiety can be dwindled down to almost nothing by finding the right mindset, the philosophy that truly works for us. I agree that it's a necessary emotion, but I don't think anxiety needs to rule our lives, and I think...

I was disagreeing with your thought that social anxiety will always be a part of you. Thank you for the history. Actually, you did relay the peg analogy to me through one of our very first post-exchanges, and it's a nice analogy. You say you have been struggling for the past six months and even...

Idk. Maybe you haven't been doing the right things. I sure as fuck haven't done everything right. It's a complicated and individualized matter as we all know! For example, as an analogy, I could struggle to lose weight for years through fad diets and "belly-fat-targeting-exercise," only to...

We can't rely on luck. We can't lie down in the face of adversity. I'm not going down like that.

OH HELL YES ANOTHER WEEK OF STRESS BRING IT YOU FUCKS
