4. I am legit socially anxious and awkward if that isn't already obvious, I find myself always attempting to escape all interractions.
5. I appear very cold and severely reserved. I am not one for humour and emotions cos I never feel comfortable enough.
6. I am overly suspicious and envious of others, I don't like to be any so I make myself scarce.
7. I feel ashamed and fearful, ashamed that I have sunk way below my past self. Afraid that I don't hold the capacity to manage my future.
8. That no one is ready to listen to me talk about my issues. That my problems are not worth the words and I am altogether not worth the attention.
I want to be able to tackle this issues come new year. To learn to love myself to even begin to put myself out there, know what I want and accomplish my desires.
Wishing everyone comfort of soul and mind. Hugs and kisses. Happy new year.❤️

Apathy is a major side effect of my depression so when I come across as flat and unaffected, people don't get me. Communicating is an ordeal, one I go out of my way to avoid. I am working on it but I find myself withdrawing a lot, apprehensive bi may have said something wrong or come across as strange. I am sure I can do it too, thanks for the reassurance, glad to have your help.☺️
Hey Myre, happy new year to you too. Hope you’re doing ok and I like how you made yourself a list of things to tackle. I know it can seem overwhelming, but you can do this.
Something that I found helpful in the past when I was learning to socialize was to interact with people in a goal oriented situation and try to have fun with it. For example, if you like singing, join a choir and get some experience working with a group toward a common goal. It can give you a sense of belonging and you can have fun interacting and learning together. Or volunteer at a local nonprofit, which is one of my goals for 2021. You will feel better about yourself and get some experience socializing with the other volunteers.
Hi Phil, it's always a good day when I hear from you. I am teaching myself to say I am fine and and mean it. Hope 2021 favours us all with satisfaction, bliss, self acceptance and much more.Actually I do love to sing and dance; especially but I come from a conservative family in a conservative environment. Unfortunately, a lot is restricted. I am a teenager lobbying for my freedom among other things. That's a matter for another occasion.
A few weeks ago, I put my name down for a nonprofit organization and I am now looking towards joining a tailoring school.
Thanks Phil, I never thought of any of it as a way to grow my social circle. Now presented with the idea, I am given more reason to work towards my goals.
Oprah said that a true friend is comfortable with you even in silence. My father used to say that it doesn't mater what you have rather its what u do with what you have. Be yourself learn grow and you are worth it. Good reminder for myself too.
Thank you. I will make sure to keep those in mind. Seeking out acceptance and companionship in these confusing years, we teens tend to set ourselves up for hurt and dissapointment without realizing. I am a quiet person, I am going to learn to love me for myself and all of my traits and find people who like me just for me. I wish you the same. Once again, wish you a grand, glorious, bountiful year.❤️
Lol, didn't think about that when picking the name but I happen to really like mermaids too. Mermaid movies are cool, it's one of my favourite fantasy genres actually.
