I haven't been here in a while. Hi. I've been having problems with self esteem lately. I constantly worry about what other people will think of me, and I am incapable of dismissing the criticisms of people even if they are inaccurate or trivial. For example, I recently got in (what started as)...

I mean that I can decide that their feedback or criticism is useless or incorrect while still having an irrational fear of it.

I haven't logged on here in a while, let alone posted anything, so I figured I'd post a general "update" about my loneliness/other problems...mostly just because I feel in the mood to whine about them (and possibly receive feedback) and this website is the proper outlet. I entered high school...

Yes, I agree with nicolelt here. You might be excluded if people don't like you, but actively being picked on doesn't really happen that much, and those who do it are usually unpopular themselves. I don't think you should try and act any way in particular. Don't act in an unnatural way, rather...

Hello mrs. Cube, and welcome to the forum. :D You may send me a PM if you'd like to talk to someone.

Interesting thread. Not sure if the 3rd person perspective is a requirement, but I'll do it anyway. Crux had a bad day because it was like every other boring day except he had to go to work, where he had nothing better to do than start thinking about the current state of his (comparatively)...

I am absolutely horrible at social interactions. Here I will list my various social problems, mostly just to express myself but also for your entertainment. I would enjoy feedback, but advice isn't necessarily expected of you. Where to begin....? .I tend to ramble slightly in my speech. I will...

Welcome. I take it your a supporter of anonymous? Or do you just happen to like suits and being anonymous :D ?

Welcome. If you can't overcome any of your mental issues to the point where you want to kill yourself, I suggest you just accept all of them. Face the fact that you have these problems and accept it. You can still live a marginally enjoyable life this way, by doing fun things that your...

Welcome. When it comes to a lack of social interaction, I find that trying to focus on the other things that you do have is pointless. Yes, there are people who have it a lot worse, but if your lonely, you have a need that is not being satisfied. You can't really ignore it.

If you don't want to spend time with them, don't. If the interaction isn't truly going to be mutual, then there's really no point. There's nothing to be guilty about. You simply didn't want to do something. It would be wrong to force you to.

There have probably been similar threads before, but does anyone here want to network on twitter? Are you comfortable stating your account name? Funny I ask, because I'm disinclined to share mine on a publicly viewable thread here...although I'd be glad be share it through a PM, or give...

It appears that many people's true desires (social interaction, food, sex, pursuit of hobbies/interests) are being willingly suppressed. My best guess is that it's due to some unproductive values, or values taken too far, that we're instilled by parents or other authority figures earlier in...

It's a pretty simple question. Can loneliness cause laziness? Has it caused you to be lazy? I was recently asked to go to work with my dad, and I really didn't want to. His job requires a lot of physical effort, and I was just too lazy to want to do it, even for pay. I feel extremely anxious...

Yeah...actually, I kind of changed my mind about how I thought I was overeacting and illogically overestimating their level of strictness. My dad recently told me I couldn't wear a white shirt, because I had worn a similar one the day before. I'm pretty sure they are actually as strict as I assumed.

This thread was prompted by my mother's insistence that she regularly monitor the internet usage of my siblings and I. It bothered me that she could look at everything I did on the internet, and even though I don't necessarily have anything important to hide, I was still afraid that she would...

I've thought about it, sometimes when I feel extremely lonely. I think about what I would do, how I would do it, how people would react, But I've never seriously considered it. There are a few reasons for this: I find that there is a quality to living that I like, even if emotion isn't...

Sorry to hear that. It's nice that you can still keep a somewhat positive attitude while all this is going on. Personally, I find that the fact that things like this can happen is what makes life great. Otherwise it would be boring, and the good things would lose their value. It is probably...

Again, I didn't say I hated these people or that they're doing anything wrong, just that they are uninteresting and annoying to me. I do regard myself as slightly superior to the majority of people (that I know, especially my peers), and I think it would be naive to believe that everyone is...

Aside from the Internet, where I can search for specific types of people, there are very few. I live in a small community with a relatively small population, there aren't many people to choose from. I'm not really "writing then off," like I said, I don't really hate them, they are just boring...
