How are you feeling?

yesterday

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I feel bad for complaining now, just been having a hard time lately. I hope everyone else feels better soon too.

Don't ever feel bad for complaining. We all need a place to spout off, and I for one, don't mind at all. Hope you're treating yourself kindly :)

My anxiety is like a Drama Queen, it's always looking for something to worry about. My anxiety shifted today from anxiety and paranoia that is completely irrational, to worry about what some think of my anxiety at work. It always has to find a fear to latch onto.

Well, let's just say if ah could get as far away from certain member of my family, ah would be happier. How am I supposed tae feel comfortable in ma sister's presence when she makes so uncomfortable?

Hey Graeme, I found this on facebook

10 Things That The People Who Love Their Lives Are Doing Differently

and apparently the key to happiness is not caring what anyone thinks.


They don’t bother trying to make others like them — mainly because they don’t care if they’re liked.
They like themselves and they are the only people they ever answer to. You could like them. You could hate them. You could pay them no mind whatsoever — doesn’t make a difference to them.

They do what they do because they decided to do it. They aren’t trying to gain your approval or acceptance. They don’t want to be part of your team — they’re a team of their own. They live their lives the way they see fit and if you like them for it, great. If not… then so be it.

^ This pretty much sums me up....

They do things because they want to do them, not because they believe they have to do them.

This, again, is also me... But ah wish ah wuz'nae forced intae social interaction by family - "Aww, c'mon... Ye jist need a bit mair confidence in yersel" Confidence, whit's that when it's at home? :confused: Ah huv'nae got much uh that, tae be honest.

Good luck with that one. I'm just going to sit in my room, play guitar and wait for it to calm down. I guess you'll do the same.

Did that yesterday fur a few hours on ma auld acoustic gee-tar. Though, batterin' f**k oot o' it wi' a plectrum iz'nae ideal - that what an electric guitar is for. :bigsmile:

Though, doesn't puttin' the value of ma opinion above everyone else’s, technically, make me a total slang term of the female gentals - fae a social standpoint, anyway? :confused: :idontknow:

Or it makes you confident that you think you're doing your version of the right thing.

Really? Well...

It's awfy difficult huvin' confidence in ma opinion when ma family are so ready tae say that I'm always in the wrong. One of the reason ah just agree most of the time - because it's better than starting an argument. Probably why ah keep a lotta ma opinions and how am feelin' to masel'.

You can't please everyone all the time and some people you couldn't please if you were superman. At that point a healthy dose of indifference is probably perfect.

That's true... But it still doesnae explain the guilty ah feel when ah say ah don't feel like doing something social - but I'm usually forced and manipulated intae it, anyway. Since that what ma family are like - cannae seem tae accept that I actually like ma solitude 99% of the time.

I feel very slow and drowsy. Yesterday was a wake up call. I was talking to this lady at the front desk at a dental office, and realized how slow I was in responding to her questions. My mom and I kept contradicting each other too, so that made it worse. There was a mirror behind so I looked at myself and realized that I have a "hostile" face. Now I know why people tell me to smile more. I just naturally look like I'm pissed or something. But the thing that I was worried about is my slowness. All these years of locking myself up at home has dulled my senses and made me slow in responding to external stimuli. My reaction time is probably 2-3 seconds, compared to say .5 seconds for normal people. Sometimes I stagger when I walk, which is unusual for me years ago. I think I'm not being challenged enough in my current environment. Perhaps my abilities are degrading and I'm getting stupider. And, all these years of isolating myself from people has also made me stupider. I think I almost forgot how to interact with people. I have lost the ability to smile (naturally, not like fake) and hug, among other things.

I need to get a job soon to get myself out of this mess.

Exceedingly nervous, in fact, more nervous than I've felt in probably 10 years. But it's tempered with excitement.

I am writing here after a while, feeling relaxed and without any particular goal in my mind.
I want to find some friends for a change . The few I had are not close enough( geographically or emotionally). May be this time I can have a friend. But it is unlikely because college days are pretty much over.
