Confessions
we all have confessions, secrets that we need to get off our chests, but can't. Mine is that I hav a secret boyfriend (small but juvenile, I know) FEEL FREE TO SHARE, NO JIDGEMENTS !
I have anxiety issues that make me want to run away from any social situation. Now how do I get a job when I can barely approach people or get into human interaction?
I feel worthless and scaed. Even when these random memories of parental abuse showed up, I couldn't do antthing about it. Just ended up feeling hated and unwanred and pathetic on top of the cripling feeling of anxiety.
What have I ever done to deserve this?
The best way to combat this fear of social interaction is to face it head on. You've probably heard this multiple times where people tell you to try and go out and talk to people, even if it scares the hell out of you. I honestly have this problem of social anxiety and feeling of disconnection with my true self too. I feel that if we don't go out and try to embrace the unknown and discomfort, we can grow as people. The very difficult part is turning these words into actions though. Make sure you follow through on your promises and attempts. If things don't work out, just go and try again. What's the worst that can happen? If you think about it, nobody is really ever focused on anybody but themselves most of the time. If you feel like you embarrassed yourself in front of somebody, they may remember it for up to a few minutes, and just go back to thinking about themselves. It's not a huge deal.
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this problem, I have anxiety too so I understand how hard it can make things. I just want you to know that you it's not your fault and you've done nothing wrong. You are anything but worthless and useless, I don't want you to give up. Things will be tough but I believe that you can fight this. And whenever you are feeling down, just remember this and remember that there is always someone who cares, even when you feel most alone. We've all got your back, I hope you can feel better. <3
@straightforwardLemon398 , thank you so much for sharing on this thread I really appreciate it. Thought i would drop in and say how much i appreciate the contributions and compassion shown by @compassionateship6063 and @BouncyFish , thanks for being such empathetic contributors to our community!!! As Always, I'm Just A PM Away 
I've been struggling with this too, a bit differently though. I worked in customer service for a long time and was really good at talking to people. Then I got sick and found myself stuck at home and now only really talk to people online through forums, chats and games. Signed up for Meetup, but can't work up the courage to go to any, even those I share an interest in. Sometimes I think I forgot how to... Human.
I have both anxiety/depression I completely agree with Lemon. How the world will anyone ever accept me and that when I'm not even cable to get a job or anything.
@Pandas4ever , Thanks for being brave enough to share your emotions and perspectives with us on this thread! I really appreciate it. Regarding your Self Doubt when it come to you capabilities (you mentioned not feeling capable enough to get a job) I just want to remind you that many other people possibly feel the same way, and though you may feel lonely, you are never alone. Thanks for sharing once again! As Always I'm Just A PM Away
I have a confession that probably sounds petty but it's a serious point of stress in my life and I really need to get it out. I really hurt my best friend's feelings once and it destroyed me. She always acted like it wasn't a big deal at all but I always felt like she secretly hated me over it or something. It's been years and still every time I think about how amazing she is and how much she means to me, I remember my one terrible mistake. I don't know how to get rid of my regret because I feel like she wouldn't even remember it but I can't let it go.
Hey there, @BouncyFish , First off I want to say thank you for sharing on my humble little thread 
Next off,I wanted to say that I couldn't help but identify with your post. In fact, i found your post to be quite a relatable one in general, everyone has regrets, and sometimes i do feel like my friends out me down without meaning to. I'm Always Just A PM Away
i confess that yes i farted not the dog
but shhhh
@Humanoid that made my day. Maybe even my week xD
I'm a super aggressive person and it shows. I don't know what happened I was so shy and sweet now I'm a wrecking ball (Miley Cyrus reference) And I don't know what to do.
