I used to be that way too when I was a teenager. I used to be so hard on myself that I was never satisfied with the artwork, or stories that I produced. Nothing I did was ever good enough, and others picked up on how I felt. Have you tried practicing self-validation? It helps a lot with...

I know it's tempting to want to continue connections with people who treat you badly because you won't have anyone else if you get rid of them. Believe me, I've been there. A couple of years ago I had a so called 'best friend' who was pretty selfish, but despite how selfish he was I didn't want...

This is a pretty relatable thread. I'd say it's especially hard to make friends in your 20s from my experience since everybody's busy, and focusing on their own needs which can be pretty hard to accept for someone who values close friendships. I am 25 now, and the only friend I have is a...

I would say, for me, my favorite places to go to for soothing myself are: * My books since I love to read, and escape into imaginary worlds. *Walking by the sea since the sounds of the waves have a calming effect on me. *Meditation since I can escape from this world during the duration of the...

Hey, everyone, just thought I'd give a big hello, ;)  My name is Alexis, and I am a 25-year-old guy who loves to write, and paint. Growing up my parents didn't know what was going on at school while everybody had rejected me, and treated me like I wasn't worth anything. Because of the...
