I really, really want a new laptop. The more I use this one, the more I get fed up with it. It's not even that old, almost 3 years and yet I feel like it's failing on me already. I'm hoping I'll get enough back in financial aid for college that I can purchase a new one soon. I'm currently looking at this model. I found it in Best Buy about a month ago and played around with it and fell in love with the thing.

The little things matter to the socially anxious. I told someone off today for pointedly staring at me. I don't really know a nice way of telling someone to remove their eyeballs from you, and anxiety makes me overreact, so I snapped at him and he looked away silently and then left. My face got warm for a few seconds but it passed.
I HAVE OVERCOME. Albeit a little bitchily, but better than being meek.

^ That's not that heavy.
Most laptops I see are a lot heavier/bulkier than that. Even the one I have now is about twice the weight.^ Bravo.
erfect: Seriously, I'm glad you worked up the courage to tell him off. Staring is rude, and being stared at is incredibly embarrassing and nerve-wracking especially for the socially anxious. Been there. I just never have the gall to say anything when it does happen, I usually just ignore the person and pretend I don't see a thing. Definitely not the best way to deal with it. Like you said, better to be a little "bitchy" about it and speak up than to hold back.Razzlecherry

Just made amends with my ex. It felt really good to just get past all this game playing bullshit. I don't know I feel like I'm starting to take control of my life. Life has been good lately, damn I deserve it.
I'm happy for you. Its good to hear. :thumbup:

Bravo.
Thanks
@Phoenixx my courage varies from day to day. Once in a blue moon I'll have a day where I feel unstoppable and unusually bold and comfortable to some extent. I'm not sure if you get that as well (I'm guessing you do), but they're so wonderful. Makes me think how great it would be to always feel that way. I wish I knew how to make every day like that.

That's great. It's nice to have someone come back to the forum after a long time with something positive to say

^ Yep, I get those days too once in a great while. They do feel really good. When you find out how to make each and every day like that be sure to clue me in. :thumbup:

Maaaannnn. For maybe the 2nd time ever I took Excedrin Migraine (yesterday). It didn't get rid of my migraine but it took the edge off for sure. It made me feel so WEIRD though - the caffeine in it made me feel sick and jittery and my face was flushed, but I also felt strangely less anxious and bold (although I had already been feeling a little less anxious all day anyway).
Caffeine (from coffee) usually makes my anxiety worse I really think there's something in COFFEE itself that affects me adversely and not purely caffeine.

Just a little bit of advice I'd like to give to everyone here:
People don't give a ****, they really don't. But the ones that do aren't even worth having around anyway. So just show some self respect, you don't deserve to have other people walk all over you, nobody does.
It's ok to be weird and different. These things are good. Nobody wants to fit into a mold. It takes a lot more strength to go against the groove, forgetting about what society expects, because the *******s will make a big deal. Just show them that you're proud of who you are and what you do, and if you aren't, make it so that you are.
I know it ain't easy, we all know that, but those little steps make all the difference.

It can be. But sometimes it helps. It really just depends. The caffeine in Excedrin helps the pain relievers in it to work faster.
