Doomed

[Marielle1]

I wish I can get over the feeling of being doomed. I always like to have company when I go out shopping or getting a bite to eat. Of course I always like me time as well, but I’m never going to a restaurant by myself. My sister says I don’t like myself. When she said that she hurt me, why because I don’t like to eat alone ? I wish I had a sister that was supportive of me, Wish I could stop feeling sad.

Hi Marielle1,

I think I understand - I struggle with social anxiety and find it hard to be in crowded places without someone there. My brother finds it infuriating and gets very angry when we are out together - which often leads to me feeling humiliated. I get you - I definitely wouldn't go out for dinner by myself - to be honest i am not a huge fan of going out to dinner. I kind of think of going out as a social activity - I enjoy having someone there to talk to or spend time with. Don't be too hard on yourself - and as for your sister, in my experience, people don't often perceive the things they say as hurtful unless you tell them, which is hard. But try talking to her and let her know what you're thinking. x

Thanks for your input I don’t see anything wrong with wanting company. My sis is hard to talk to she doesn’t understandxx

My brother is the same. He defiantly thinks that me having anxiety and depression is a personal failure on my part. But you know, if you have trouble talking to your sister, this is a great resource for being heard

Well I'm in your club, i'd never go out to eat alone! People that don't deal with our issues don't understand, not to blame them, yet if they could walk a mile in our shoes they sure would understand!!!!!!!!! Sending joy your way!!! XXX
