My (26F) boyfriend recently went behind my back and impersonated me on a Facebook group chat with my college classmates, attempting to secure me a job in my major (CS graduate), despite my clear stance on not wanting to work in the tech industry. Being introverted with significant social anxiety, I've never engaged in this group chat before and even thinking about drawing attention to myself in a such way after all this years since graduating college makes me panic. I couldn't bring myself to even look at those messages and ended up deleting the app altogether. Now I feel really ashamed and s ..read more

I'm in a foreign country for work, where all the staff live in the same big house. Most of my colleagues are german, which means they are all culturally alike and i'm the only one from a totally different culture. Idk if it's the cultural part that pushes them to not be overly friendly (sorry for the stereotype but most germans i've met are very cold) or if it's just me? I feel sad, they're always hanging out somewhere together and not including me, sometimes they make ironic jokes/comments about me thinking i don't understand. I'm so tired, I thought changing country would allow me to meet n ..read more

uni: ok, you guys have 1 year left before graduation, it's now time for summer internship me 1 year prior: uhm ok I can do this... I'll try. how hard can it be. keep this stoic face, don't be affected by other's words and do not let them dictate your emotions. wear those contacts and wear those pretty clothes and you're good to go with confidence (⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠) [intermission~ within this one year I got smacked in the face by bad interactions with some people, isolated myself to prevent my emotions from wrecking havoc on my mh (which always seems to happen whenever I interact with people for a si ..read more

I thought I had something figured out cause I played D&D with some people at a game store. I realized I honestly didn't enjoy playing and just liked drawing characters cause I'm a digital artist in my spare time. So I kinda have to figure out my strategy to make friends cause I honestly didn't know the people in my dnd group well and I need to figure out some other way to make friends who have things in common with me. It's complicated meeting people since I usually work retail and retail makes me not want to be around people after dealing with shitty managers and customers. What can I do ..read more

So I have social anxiety right and so I have noticed that some of the friends I have ever had happened to be really happy and positive like they were outgoing and very social so I myself couldn’t talk at all and very shy So I see this person who was very happy, positive and nice soooo I was near her and when she said hi I confidently said hi and that never happened before And since I knew she was very social and happy , my brain knew she wasn’t a threat and I can say hi and start a conversation like I talked to her well and that never happened before and she introduced me to her friends and j ..read more
