#Relatable

[No1wthayla]

All the time. I feel excluded from family, excluded at work, ignored in public, and being alone is the only time I really feel like myself. But then I get stuck being alone. I've been working on being more approachable but I just can't be fake like others I see. Anxiety is a bad enough problem but having other issues (using the wrong words, saying something the wrong way, asking a question that offends someone) makes it harder. At least here I can find someone who CAN relate and give support. Just ask whenever you need us. Prayers and hugs.

You need to join any beginner improv group. Thank me later.

[No1wthayla in reply to quitter333]

I'm not sure what you mean.

Improvisation theater

[No1wthayla in reply to quitter333]

How does my original response make me a potential person for improv theater?

[quitter333 in reply to No1wthayla]

it teaches you how to be a favorite person.

[Raiinbow08 in reply to No1wthayla]

You just described me in a nutshell! It feels good to know that someone out there feels the same way and is going through the same things! The only thing that sucks is that we are going through this! But not alone! Same prayers and hugs stay strong!

[No1wthayla in reply to Raiinbow08]

Stay strong as well.

[quitter333]

Yeah, being favorite person is not that hard. Just don't be dumb/asshole and engage with people/ listen.

Easy.

I feel like that all the time even with my own kids and my closest friend. Now because of how I feel I think it rubbed off them and they think I don't like them as much. It really sucks

[Raiinbow08 in reply to Jamie2018]

Yes i try not to let it affect my kids sometimes but I find myself in a bad mood and taking it off on them. I feel so bad! Depression and anxiety affects everything and everyone around us.

I am an introvert and find it very true what they say; that introverts don't make friends, they are adopted by an extrovert. Even then I never feel like I'm their person. I feel like I am just a backup plan. Always there when they want to fill some empty time.

I regularly have negative thoughts and one of those is to abandon my family and live in the backwoods far away from everyone and living off the land. No contact with the outside world.

[Raiinbow08]

It’s crazy to know somehow we have all had the same thoughts! It blows my mind! And I’m not just saying that I promise. Packing my stuff up and leaving has always been a thought of mine, just leaving to anywhere, anywhere but here where no one knows me! And no contact with anyone! Also feeling like you are everyone’s second option. I feel like that most of the time. People just call on me when no one else is there.
