I use the word Cognitive a lot because the cognition is what deals with your thinking and how you process information and all that, I find that my cognitive functionality is TERRIBLE in any group situation, whether it be in a night class, which I took up until last May, or whether I'm with...

This obviously doesn't apply to everyone on this site, but I think that sleeping over 8-9 hours is actually bad for you, I don't think the body was intended to sleep for that long, you really only need that amount of time for your motor functionality to work again. But I have been sleeping for...

I am starting to realize that it's not all dismal and darkness in my life. There are rays of light that come in from time to time that make me very happy to be alive. They don't come very often, regrettably, but they do appear when I least expect them to. Like tonight I was having a not-so-good...

So seeing how I am up all night because of how much I love these early morning hours, along with the peace and quiet that comes with them, I decided that I am going to start watching through all of Naruto Shippuden starting tomorrow night. Actually, I am going to start watching around 8-8:30pm...

I usually go to bed around 5:00am, and then get up around 11:30am. Not the greatest sleep pattern I know, but I thoroughly enjoy my anxiety-free self during these very early morning hours. I am in the mood to watch an anime movie, I'm going to take a look at the list, and see what I'm in the...

This I found has been the hardest thing for me to actually put into practice. Sometimes I feel so miserable that I just don't want to show a positive attitude to people. I have called it being antisocial more than once. But I find that when my attitude is bad, along with bad feelings of anxiety...

I can't believe it. I actually shed some tears tonight. Something I have not been able to do for years, literally! Just moments after shedding those tears I started feeling better, less depression, less anxiety. My mind just cleared up. I know this may sound crazy but there must be some kind of...

My perceptions of the world are shades in between black and white. Sometimes everything seems fine, and colorful, other times it seems like everything is going backwards. I bounce back and forth between these two perceiving realities. Tonight was one of those not so great nights. I was more...

OK team, I have a problem, and I need serious advice as to what to do. This is kind of off-topic because I don't know what is wrong with me actually. All I know is that I have an issue, and by issue, I mean ISSUE! Let me cut to the chase. I woke up at 4:00pm today and was like, I know! I'll text...

Tonight was painful. I was invited to sit in on a game or "session" of Dungeons and Dragons with a few people I know, and some other people who I didn't know. I arrived at 5:00pm and had to sit there in shyness/anxiety/and awkwardness until finally I couldn't take it anymore, whipped out my cell...

I started thinking, maybe I'm retarded and everyone is just being nice to me. The reason why I say this is because I was diagnosed with Autism, I have a hard time paying attention, and I'm easily excited. <.< One thing that characterizes my Autism is that I experience barriers in communication...

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by my doctor because of my inability to connect with people socially, and because I feel quite annoyed by the thoughts of dealing with people, like if I was working at a job, I wouldn't want to work with ignorant and rude customers, it would just send...

Usually when I go out with a friend I feel too nervous to talk, despite how much I've been putting myself in social situations over the years. I was starting to think that it was impossible to break out of my shell but tonight was different. I actually did most of the talking, even though I was...

Tonight I'm feeling a little down, but not in despair or anything. I just feel like I'm never going to measure up in any kind of social standard. My Doctor tells me that it's okay to be a quiet person with not much to talk about, and that it's not abnormal in anyway. But it still bothers me when...

I know it's because of my anxiety, but every night when my mom gets off work, we usually talk for a bit before calling it a night. I find that when I'm talking, my voice is very weak, and I actually find it hard to get my voice out. I feel faintly anxious while this is happening, but I don't...

I think my mind avoids social interactions just as much as I avoid them physically. It's like I'm afraid to be talked to, because I will freeze up and not know how to reply accordingly. I will feel slow or something, and it will make me very self-conscious. I wish I had a better way of...

Hey guys, tonight was a fairly productive night for me. Me and my brother in law went down to one of our friends place for a night of tea and anime, and although I was nervous about going, I knew it would be better than staying at home. So when I got there I was surprisingly a lot more talkative...

So basically I'm just a quiet guy, oh, but with social anxiety. I've always pictured in my head that I am standing behind a barrier that distances me from fitting in with the world. But on a positive note, it has always given me great observing skills, because that's basically all I can do in...
