Awkward Empathy

I read your stories and I try to be empathetic in my responses but sometimes it may sound like comparison, which is not. Most of my responses are of the "Me Too!" variety just trying to say "I have been there, I get it" but most of us are already a lil awkward and sometimes we read things wrong, misunderstandings are easy online.

Writing in general is very hard for me both physically and emotionally, I can't remember what I am doing during it so all rules of grammar get trampled, I already have to stop and retype a million times bc I can't feel my fingertips.

I am never trying to "up one" but It may sound like it. I respect YOUR pain and suffering, I know we all struggle in different ways and I wish I had a way to take everyone's pain away. I try not to put my religious or spiritual believes in my answers, try to be respectful.

Why am I telling you this? Because at times I have a hard time communicating my thoughts properly at times the fog is so thick I get lost. I am hoping by admitting it and being honest is best, rather than try to explain later.

I feel you my mighty, I feel you.

I hope everyone has the best day they can possibly have, that happiness finds you even if its a small thing.

The puppy candy is my girl Kimchi a mutt extraordinare who stole my husbands heart on day one despite his objections. She is modeling her new sweater which lasted 5 days but she loves “outfits” so we try to keep her warm in style. She is getting old so she spends her days napping with me.

Hello to whoever is reading this. My name is Haley and this is my first time posting on here. I’ve been a member for almost a year so I’m not new. I e been struggling extra hard than usual with myself and my head lately. I can’t express my emotions or myself in general, the right way, and I’m so tired and frustrated from trying my best to tell someone what’s really going on with me. I’m to the point to where I don’t wanna bother talking to ppl anymore. I always lacked social skills and had social anxiety pretty bad. So its always been difficult to talk to anyone let along express myself. Since I was little I kept everything to myself all the stuff I buried is finally trying to come out and idk how to deal with it all. I hate to admit it but I don’t have any support I don’t have friends anymore and I worry myself sick thinking that I’m awful and everything I say is stupid or annoying. Eventually I ruin my own relationship #ParanoidThoughts s but my paranoia keeps getting worse. I don’t even wanna speak to ppl anymore. But I thought I’d give it a shot and post on here Basically the paranoid thoughts have got me worrying about things my mind thinks are true. The line between reality and irrational worry’s has become blurred. I can’t tell the difference between reality or just the paranoia getting to me. Can anyone relate? Im a cutter and I’m trying really hard to stop,so I’m looking for anything that could help me not cut again And if you have any advice at all that might help plz let me know. #Anxiety #self -sabotage #Selfharm #StrugglingWithSelfHarm #SuicideAttemptSurvivors #Sociallyawakward Hope everyone is ok at the least. And never give up even when you’re tired and drained from battling an illness or multiple everyday. You matter even if your mind tries to convince u otherwise. I remind myself that all the time.

Anyone else extremely socially awkward?

I’m working for the first time at a restaurant and although I’ve dealt with the public before, I’m pretty decent at faking it with customers unless I’m actually in a better mood and not tired all the time. But somehow I’m extremely socially awkward with Co workers or having any long conversations or even short interactions with people. I like to make things quick and easy to avoid it at all costs. I’m 28 years old and still can’t evolve from my shy phase. Anyone else deal with that? If so, have you evolved or is there any method to boost my confidence without feeling entirely anxious? #SocialAnxiety #Sociallyawakward #Anxiety
