    What is the "silliest" setback you've had?

    I don't mean silly in a mocking way, just in a "it shouldn't be a huge deal, but it is" kind of way. I want to go to beauty school and I was about to apply but then I read that for make up and hair demonstrations you'd have to find your own models, people you know. Well, I don't have friends...

    Anybody else have suicidal thoughts when faced with a stressful/anxious situation?

    I do. I'm not actively suicidal but whenever I have to do something, like shopping, interact with people, the usual, I just think "Why can't a serial killer shoot me?" "I wish I'd never been born" "I wonder if it would to painful to eat rat poison" These kind of things.

    Be honest. Am I pretty or not?

    I know I've asked something similar before but my picture was hideous. Someone (not here( said I look like Mona Lisa, is that an insult or not? I don't find her attractive.

    Being forced to visit relatives who think I'm autistic. What should I do?

    I know that when you're an adult there's a belief that you can do whatever the hell you want. Well that's not true if you live with controlling family members. I just turned twenty and can't to move out due to financial and emotional reasons. Anyway, last year my grandmother died. I didn't know...

    Does anybody here watch "The Simpsons"? I have a superstitious question.

    The Mandela Effect is a theory put forth by writer and “paranormal consultant” Fiona Broome that shared false memories are in fact glimpses into parallel worlds with different timelines. Now do any of you remember the episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer goes to New York and needs to use the...

    Is anybody else afraid to change for the better?

    I was watching a video about social anxiety confessions and a guy said something like "I'm afraid to go to therapy because i'm afraid it will change who I am an I won't be me anymore." This really related to me. I didn't even realize I felt this way until he said it. Like, seriously, who will...

    Does anybody here have a deadbeat dad?

    I do. He was around for the first 13 years of my life, moved out, only came to the house to see my mother (they were still together, just not living together anymore). He would never come around to see me. He'd only say "hi" and that was it. He never had a real conversation with me or took any...

    Has anybody lost out of money due to SA?

    I have. I'm unemployed at the moment and I'm extremely embarrassed to have to collect social welfare at the post office every week. Sometimes I psyche myself up before going in, but some weeks I just can't do it. It's 100 euro a week and so far I have not collected a total of 500. It's too late...

    Does anybody else have general anxiety besides just SA?

    I think I do. In general, I'm pretty calm, but certain things just make me tremble. In school, I never worried about exams or stuff like that. But recently I've become petrified of terrorists. Last week I was shopping with my mom and there was this guy who was acting shifty (he was probably...

    Does anybody else have trouble saying "please"?

    I do. I know it's basic manners but I just feel so uncomfortable saying it. I have no problem with "thank you" and "sorry" but "please" just feels weird. Like today I was at the store and I had to ask for something people the counter, saying please was like pulling teeth.

    How do you feel when you realize you're actually mentally ill?

    I don't mean for the first time, but just in general. I know social anxiety causes me to behave the way I do, but when I actually see TV commercials about mental health or anything kind of media talking about mental illness, the realization hits me "OH MY GOD, I'M ACTUALLY MENTALLY ILL!" It's...

    Does anybody else feel completely ruined?

    I do. I just know I'll never be normal or happy. I have OCD, SA and depression. I'm obsessed with age. I can't stand the idea of looking old and aging. I'm constantly worrying about everything. I can't even shop because i'm afraid of the cashiers. I have no skills so I can't get a job. I'm...

    Do I look old for my age?

    Also, am I ugly? Like, in need of a nose job? How old do I look in this picture? What are my flaws.

    I'm traumatized and can't leave my room.

    I watched this video and now I'm too afraid to go downstairs for water or even walk to the bathroom. I'm home alone for the next few hours. I've always been easily spooked. I watched creepy videos before and I had a similar reaction. yesterday, I came home and nobody was home so I ran up the...

    I was jealous of a child today

    :crying: So today, I was in a store and a I accidently bumped into a girl aged around 7-10. Anyway, I apologized, but then I started thinking "Why the Hell am I apologizing to her? She's going to go on to live a normal life and I'm still going to be suffering. My apology doesn't mean a damn...

    What is the most awkward situation you've ever been in?

    I went to a pretty small school with only 180 students. When I was in secondary/high school, one of my classes only had five students in it, including me. Anyway, the other four girls were in a clique and I was on my own. They were nice but I didn't belong. Anyway, the teacher used to show up...

    Do I sound like a hermit to you?

    I'm almost 20. I live at home with my mom and brother, they are the only people I have properly interacted with in, well, most of my life. But we don't actually say anything interesting to each other. My brother barely says more than a "hello" to me. I am close to my mom but we don't really have...

    I know I'm going to commit suicide one day. Anybody else?

    Right now I'm 19. I constantly have suicidal thoughts but I'm not actively suicidal. I just know that one day I will kill myself. I just can't ever see myself as a weak old woman with wrinkles and health problems. I don't want to be old. The thought of being elderly is just too depressing. I'm...

    Do you think your teachers hated you for being so shy?

    I think my English teacher found me highly annoying. She was always nice to me but she never awarded me any academic awards even though I always got the highest grade in the class. Seriously, whenever there would be a test I'd always get at least 90%. Nobody else did as well as me in the class...
