    Shy girl

    So there's this girl i've known for the past few months, and we've been talking/joking around heaps etc. on Facebook, but most of the time when I see her in person she seemingly avoids me - our conversations (which I always need to initiate) aren't very long, with her usually needing to go...

    Not invited

    So it turns out someone who I thought was a good friend had their party last night - and I was probably the only one who wasn't invited or informed of it. Kinda sad, considering last year she was one of the only people who bothered to show up to my birthday gathering, and I'd been invited to...

    So I've come to realize ...

    ... that I don't actually have any friends, and nobody really cares about me. On Facebook for instance - I've noticed that likes and comments and what not are given based almost solely on who you are and what your perceived social status is. I can posts songs/links to my profile and get no...

    Status: You either have it in you, or you don't.

    "The ability to reach a higher social status/become a leader/role-model does not necessarily come from within - if you are not perceived to have what it takes, then you will forever flounder at the bottom of the social ladder." Agree or disagree? Explain. EDIT: Changed the wording

    Relapsing

    There was a time when I thought I had successfully slain the dragon known as social anxiety. Oh, how wrong I was. This past weekend, I was at a party at a friend's house, and I initially only knew about 4 people there. Granted, I spent most of the night talking to and meeting new people, but...

    A bit of disheartening news ...

    It's official, first impression lasts forever - Times Of India So if you come off as shy or "creepy" to someone, but you eventually become more comfortable in their presence and warm up to them - no matter what, you will forever be a "creep" in their eyes.

    Should I just forget about her?

    So last week I met this girl who I'd spoken to on Facebook for a couple of months (I feel kinda stupid saying that) for the first time in person, at a mutual friend's birthday shindig. I like to think I left a good first impression, and we got to actually properly know each other a little...

    Just told everyone I was developing an alcohol addiction ...

    ... and most of them laughed it off and thought I was just doing it for attention. The fact that it took a lot for me to man up and admit I had a problem (the first step), and it's just a joke to some people. :rolleyes: It's alright though - I'll be the one laughing when their lives are sucked...

    Wanna know what sucks?

    That overwhelming feeling of anxiety you suffer when a girl you really like breaks up with her boyfriend, and there are other guys who talk to her a lot as well, even if they are just friends. ::o: 'S what's happened with this girl I've been close with for a couple of years. She was in a...

    What the f**k?

    So I started a new job not long ago, and one of my co-workers is acting rather weird for no apparent reason. We worked together at the same bar for one shift, and had some casual conversation when things were quiet business-wise, but last Friday night I was in the cooler room getting drinks for...

    Be patient? (Fairly long and disjointed, you have been warned)

    So there's a girl I work with, that I'd like to pursue something greater than friendship with. We get along really well and there's always a fun, playful atmosphere between us. Unfortunately, she was asked out on a date by another co-worker the other week, and I'm not sure whether that's gonna...

    Being nice to people is a waste of time.

    Yep. It's the sad and unfortunate truth of life. Everytime I try to talk to certain people, or try to join in their conversations, I'm ignored and shut out. It's bulls**t. I see also that this is a common issue for SA sufferers. I actually thought I'd try to change my approach and try to make...

    Worried.

    Right, so a few weeks ago, I was experiencing a particularly baneful episode of anxiety/paranoia and I ill-advisedly ended up taking most of my frustrations out on a close friend of mine. I apologized to her over SMS (I was going to do it in person earlier in the day, but she was always...

    A predicament ...

    So I was meant to be meeting this girl I've been friends with for years, but never had a chance to catch up with, for coffee last Friday. We originally scheduled it for midday, but she had a training thing at work so she asked to reschedule it for later on in the day or some other time. So we...

    "Don't sweat the petty things"? Hmmm ...

    I'll never know why, but I'm always finding myself imagining the worst possible outcome of a scenario, and suffering the imagined consequences. :confused: To elaborate - a girl I've been friends with for a while (who we'll call Cathy) has just broken up with her boyfriend. Now young Cathy is...

    It's official. I'm retarded.

    I failed my 4th go at my driving test this morning. It's f**ked. I can drive fine any other time, but when it comes crunch time, my nerves take over (no matter how prepared I thought I was) and I just **** out miserably. I've been told that if you don't pass by your 2nd or 3rd time, then you...

    Has anyone else ever experienced this?

    Has anyone else ever pushed someone away (a friend/acquaintance/colleague) from them/shut them out because they seem like a threat/rival to you? Or am I the only one? There's been this girl I used to get along reasonably well with, but I always felt weird talking to/associating with her. I've...

    Trying to get away from this Facebook ****

    What the title says. I've deactivated my FB account, in hopes that I can try and make a better life for myself. See, a lot of my SA over the past year or so has actually stemmed from Facebook. The way it is, is that friendships are now seemingly divided into two camps: real-life...

    Tilting at windmills

    Too often I feel like I'm fighting a constant uphill battle against imaginary enemies - like I feel like people really do not like me, even though they act like/reassure me that they do. A couple of weeks ago, I turned 22. I received a total of about 60-something "happy birthday" messages on...
