I oftentimes just try to keep myself focused on the present and immediate future, because I don't see myself as having the brightest of futures. I mean I plan on going to grad school and getting a PhD but all the work involved scares the crap out of me and I'm not sure I can handle it. Especially with the dissertation and having to present a defense in front of a committee. I have a bad feeling I'm going to end up being unable to fulfill that. Even though things (school wise) are going pretty well now I have this horrible feeling that it's all just going to blow up in my face.
Interesting. That's completely the opposite in that case. You focus on working hard on the moment? Technically that should all lead to a bright future. But I'd probably say.. let's not jinx it 😳
Also, as far as relationships go I've never had one and I have an extremely hard time believing I ever will have one. I just don't see myself as the type of girl who could be in a relationship. I would really love to, but seeing everyone else in relationships just makes me doubt myself even more. And I know that just about every girl dreams about her wedding and plans all the details but I honestly cannot picture myself getting married. It's unfathomable for me even though I want to get married and have kids more than anything.
I know what you mean. I used to be a believer in the whole everybody finds someone, then I realised I'm actually going to have difficulty getting into a relationship.
But hey... one can always hope that friendships will develop into romantic. That's my best bet.

Yeah, I'm weird... and I have a hard time explaining exactly what I'm thinking because I'm not always so sure myself.
Well it's more like I like making plans and just worrying about what's going on now. The plans for the future always seem to look nice but I don't really think they're actually going to pan out.

That's a good point. I just need to find some male friends first... :?
Well, I know i will have a good future if I work hard to bit my SA. I don't lie to myself that its going to be a cake walk. I will have to struggle and bleed, but in the end I know i will live a life that i want to live
It's clear that most people here suffer from some form of anxiety currently.
Does anyone believe despite the problems, they'll get through life or through these problems somehow?
That life will ultimately be OK.
I'm kinda positive and optimistic... but my loneliness has shaped my future and my ideological beliefs. It's a future that is probably considered kinda evil/sad/idealistic by the vast majority of people.
