They're just people...

[SocialRetahd]

What if we viewed people the same way we see inanimate objects? If we continue to think that we aren't living life until we have a social life than this will be too much pressure and we will never succeed. You have to realize that people only like you conditionally and won't always. Friends are just for fun, nothing more.

Yeah that's a quote that I've heard many time before. "They're just people." I've thought about it many times but its something that's much easier said than done in my case of SA. I know everything I think about is irrational when it comes to socializing but I have no way of thinking that will get me around it. Medicine masks it, and therapy justs let you het shit off of your chest. SA is a bitch. Plain as that.

Well if I believed everything I said, then I wouldn't be here. I just know that if you were to convince yourself that people are just carbon, hah, than maybe SA would vanish.

lol. they're carbon...nah they're not. :?

i don't think the thread is so bad..i mean they're just people after all. dumb people, idiot people, good people, punk people, depressed people.

the thing is...(im fucking hungry) the thing is..if you see ALL people as objects, including girls, and parents. the path often leads to an anti-social setting. in which you can't even relate to objects anymore. IMO...

would you like to have 100 girls if you didn't felt anything? im sure the sultan on his harem liked one or two..or maybe all; and he felt..it's up to we're all different. to me there's two reason why we won't talk or are shy (im just shy) 1.- paranoia. 2.- depression (i mean real depression, no Sa frustation)

the thing is you've got to be ok..thinking they're objects would alienate you even further..imagine walking and saying, 'there's a carton milk, a carbon' it doesn't works..would be just fucking chaos.

so try to work on being ok IMO. anyfways, i've gtg, i think i fall on the depression- (Which is a though one, people don't scare mem but it's no fun, thank for the laugh though :wink: some people on t.v. i consider'em to be carbon, (gossip t.v. shows and that shit). well i'v gtg.

hey, sorry i sorta stumbled accross this and got a couple of good tips! tried and tested too.

First one is by paul mckenna (sory the bloke is my idol, what a legend) he says in one of his tapes...

'ok imagin someone who intimadates u knocking on ur front door...u go down stairs, answer it, and they have a clown nose on? then all of a sudden they whip out a hude orange curly wig and tick it on... then they shrink to about 1 foot tall, there looking up at u, shouting in a high pitched elf lie voice..' u stupid person!' or what ever u citize urself with. now....how intimidating is this now? lol not very, the idea is to look at people in a joke way how make ufeel like that, it works an all. go on limewire or beashare whatever and get paul mckeena - a supreme self confidence, its on there.

secondly, it might be a good idea for people with SA to imagin the other person has SA put is just good at covering it up. the more vunerable u see somebody, the less vunerable you will feel. this dont mean act like a jerk lol just put urself on the same level as the other person.

hope this helped? x
