    Share your poems?

    Your haikus are dope. I wrote this poem for my grandmother after she had a stroke: Setting Sail When they moved her upstairs from the ICU, she was still frail and unable to move, as if a handful of birds had flown from her limbs to chase Spring in a younger place. She was tired. We wrestled...

    What to do (just a little bit of advice needed, no big deal)

    I think it's easier if you do things without any expectations. Say hello to her when you see her at the group, and just do the friendly 'how's it going?'. One of the things you could do, since both of you have anxiety in common, is to ask her how she copes, and what she does to get some relief...

    Being Single vs Being In A Relationship

    Hard to explain. Feels even better when you've got a special connection with the other person, that's for sure. I think that's one of the things that make it so pleasurable.

    Healthy/Unhealthy Ways of Coping

    I think exercise is one of the things that work the best because it also motivates you to eat better. Also, meditation, and reassessing your relationship with yourself, the people around you, and your day-to-day life. Trying to find the positive things about your daily activities and about...

    Being Single vs Being In A Relationship

    Marriage is pretty much signing a paper that says you are married. It's a concept that's slowly becoming outdated as time goes by. If two people like one another, they'll simply be together. I don't know what to say to this.

    Being Single vs Being In A Relationship

    You can have sex before marriage without getting pregnant. Besides, having sex before marriage helps you understand if you're sexually compatible with that person.

    How much has rational-thinking strategies worked for you?

    My girlfriend doesn't have social anxiety, and we get along very well. At the end of the day, it's a matter of sharing things and being willing to do certain things that you wouldn't do before (go to certain gatherings, birthday dinners, etc, which make me feel very anxious).

    lack of any intimacy

    I think you need a good dose of CBT. This kind of therapy goes a long way to help you become a more social creature, and defeat certain habits like not being able to look people in the eye. I've read that if you continuously look people in the eye from the moment you meet them, you have a higher...

    How much has rational-thinking strategies worked for you?

    Well, obviously. If you're confident but you're rude to people, you're not gonna get anywhere. Being naturally confident means you like yourself enough not to project your insecurities onto other people and be rude to them. I can attest to this. Make a girl laugh, and you've got a...

    How much has rational-thinking strategies worked for you?

    I've seen tons of 'ugly' guys with attractive girls and vice-versa. At the end of the day, natural confidence is high up in the rankings when it comes to the main deciders. Being insecure, or having a low self-esteem, or being constantly terrified of everyone, are just not attractive.

    lack of any intimacy

    I think he just wants people to tell him that he's right.

    lack of any intimacy

    If you act confidently enough and work on your charisma, you'll have decent chances to chat up random girls (at stores, at a museum, and so on). If you sound or look too desperate, girls will not be attracted to you. Everyone wants to find someone, but even in finding companionship, fortune...
