To be honest, I haven't been feeling to great at all lately. I'm feeling extremely lonely, and am trying to talk to new people, but no matter what my social anxiety always gets in my way. Luckily, I do have a group of friends I have been hanging out with for years, I consider myself lucky for that, but I always worry that if I try to meet new people I will grow more distant from them, and in fact some days I think I already am. Lately, because of my loneliness, I have been trying to talk to girls more (which isn't exactly my strong suit), but I have only been able to hold "ok" conversations through text messages. If I get the chance to talk in person, I will either hold up the conversation for a couple of minutes before it dies and gets awkward, or I get overcome with anxiety and don't end up talking to her at all (this is what usually happens). I'm always worried about what she thinks about me, if she's catching on or if she's paying no attention to me, and I always wonder if I finally get the courage to ask her out, it wont really go anywhere after that due to my SA. Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant, it felt good to get that out . I'm in grade 11 right now and hoping things will get better soon.

I just realized I've been here for a year now. Wow, doesn't seem like it's been a year. When I joined, I didn't even think I'd be here a full year. I didn't think I would make any friends, or that anyone would even understand me. I was pretty anxious to join (I prowled the site a bit for 2 weeks before I joined), but I'm so glad I did. I don't mean to make a big deal about this or anything, but I guess I'd like to say how much this site has helped me over the course of that one year. My SA didn't improve much, but I understand what I go through a whole lot more than I did a year ago. I also don't feel as "trapped" as I did then either. I feel I can act and be myself here, and this site helps with the venting ALOT. Even if it's just online, just words on a screen, it still helps to get it all out. So I thank you guys, for putting up with my complaining. ::p: For giving me advice, and just basically talking to me, even if it's just saying hi.

Happy anniversary for being on here, Phoenixx! Glad you're enjoying your time here and here's to having many more wacky misadventures and awe-inspiring revelations! I can't remember how long I lurked on here as a guest; I think it was over a month or something. I joined, not only to help, but to be helped. It was a comforting thought to know that there were people out there who experienced what I did and felt how I felt. So, what are you going to do for this special occasion? Post your voice? Or maybe a picture? But, I guess we all can say thank you to you as well for helping us and being a friend overall as well! So, thank you and you're welcome:D!

I'm sorry to hear you get all anxious around new people, but take it from me: your life changes quickly and dramatically when you leave school, for better or worse. So hopefully your anxieties will disappear and you'll relish life beyond school. :)

Phoenixx, you are more than welcome. You've been great for the 2.5 months I've been here and I can't imagine that changing. I'm glad we've been able to help in one way or another, big or small. :)

Thanks, planemo!
Yeah, i know, unfortunately, most of us here feel like this.
Just sometimes this feeling of loneliness gets worse and worse

Sorry if this makes me sound like a selfish prick, but should I celebrate Christmas this year, even though I'm an atheist? Personally, I don't want to bother with it - it just a hassle - but I know that opinion will just make my family pissed off at me.

You don't have to celebrate Christmas if you don't want to. You could just use the day to celebrate how much you love your family. Or if you don't love them, you could celebrate how much you love good food. If it was me, having my family peeved at me would be a bigger hassle than celebrating something I don't believe in. You don't have to stay there all day. Just pick a meal to join them for. Spend an hour repressing your irritation and then make up some friends you have to meet. That hour will be a lot shorter than your family's annoyance will last if they are anything like my family.

^ I've been wanting to post my voice for a while now, but first I really got to get over this illness. I've been fighting it for a few weeks now, so I just contacted my doctor today. (Okay well I didn't do it, my mom did because I'm too pathetic to do so. >.>) I get a prescription tomorrow, so hopefully it'll take care of everything. I'm sick of sounding so stuffy and nasal-y.

I hardly even look at it as a religious experience anymore. No more than I feel that dressing up on Halloween will protect me from evil spirits.

Neither do I. It just the pressure from the rest of my family to "join in the celebrations" as it were. Despite having no interest in doing so. But my sisters usually guilt-trip into sitting at the table for Christmas dinner anyway. Even though all I do is sit there quietly, hardly saying a word, except for the occasional mumbled answer to a question. Then - after 15 minutes - go back to my room and continue doing whatever I was doing before the meal.
