How dose anyone cope
I can't talk to people and people are everywhere, and everything revolves around talking or being near people. It's even hard emailing people is near to impossible.
@Snow4summer. Hang in there! It is not going to be like this forever. You have to do a little homework though.
You might want to explore the origin of your specified issue. How long has this been going on? Was it gradual or did it occur alongside a specific event in your life? Do some really deep soul searching. Try to dig back as far as childhood if you have to. I find that journaling helps, too.
Journaling allows you to actually examine your findings and it gives you a bird's eye view of your actual thought processes and self-talk. Furthermore, if you decide on a "fantasy audience" before you begin, you will actually be practicing the art of communication, even with no real listener. Imagining you are heard, and writing with this person(s) in mind will also change the content and style of your writing. You should gain some new self awareness during the writing if you pay close attention to your thoughts, shifts in mood and even changes in your physical self. Also, after writing an entry is complete, go back and read it. Analyze yourself as if you are a third party perspective or narrator.
There is also a terrific amount of self-help material available to you here. Have you tried talking to someone here? I'd love to talk with you sometime! I can handle it if you change your mind mid-conversation. We can just keep trying. With each new attempt, you will gain strength! Good luch! You can do this. Do NOT give up. The World needs you. We at 7cups need you! Hugs!
