Social Anxiety Disorder Experiences #2
I’ve been wanting to do a couple of videos for a while now about all the failed attempts at making friends I’ve been through. Basically I wanted to talk about how it seems like I have an unusually difficult time making real friends, especially since I started college (which hasn’t really helped my Social Anxiety Disorder) This particular video is about a girl I’ve known for nineteen years.
god thats a sad story.that seems like my luck.i really hope things go good for u on from now.u deserve the best.
hard luck buddy theres plenty more fish in the sea keep up the good work
It really was. But I really hope I do soon. This whole ‘being lonely’ thing isn’t cutting it anymore
I don’t either. And you’re welcomed.
your a real person to actually say this. i don’t like backstabbers at all. but to actually say this and share it means alot to others that suffer too. thank you
Yeah, at least I tried. I really wish she would have lived up to her word. Who knows, we might have ended up being pretty good friends all things considered. But you’re right, a lot of people unfortunately make promises or say they’ll do something and then without a second thought break their promise. It sucked even more with the fact that we’ve known each other since we were three years old.
So do I. I can understand if something comes up where it has to be broken, but to repeatedly do that, time after time after time I’m not okay with it.
Maddox, at least you tried. That’s something that even I have a hard time doing. If I saw someone like that I knew long ago and hadn’t spoke to in a long time, there’s no way I’d ask to meet up with them – I’d be way too shy/anxious. It’s not your fault she isn’t true to her word, like most people these days. You did nothing wrong and should not regret having tried to make another friend.
You’re welcomed. You’re right though, there are a lot of other fish in the sea. Hopefully a few of them will swim my way.
i get upset when people break promises like that. To get you ready and u keeping it free and then them breaking it is just not cool. u have to let them know that your pissed off and if u dont want to hang out then at least tell me before hand. I know its hard doing that with social anxiety but stuff like this u have to make a stand
dont worry man lot of fish in the sea.. just got to recover from SA, thx for sharing the experience
Yep, bleeding it out, so to speak, is one reason I decided to do videos like this. I’ve found for a long time now that doing these types of videos seem to help. Get things off my chest and all that.
Granted, that the best thing – is to keep digging into what’s really eating you, and as Linkin Park says “Bleed it out”…
You’ve got weeds to pull out of your garden, and they’re quite deep.
You’re right, it really did suck. I was really excited when she wrote me the first time asking me if I was the same person she grew up with and added me. I had really looked forward to haning out.
But same here though. I’ve been disappointed more times than I care to think by other people. I wish this was the only video I could do about this sort of thing, but it won’t be the last.
I know someone with the last name Maddox, and he had trouble letting go of things… He died during Easter last year, and he was my next door apartment neighboor.
Do you know how it feels, to listen to you talk like this… and then you turn 44 years old, and your still talking about this stuff.
Then you get so scared or frightened of what people will think… you start putting that SCARE INTO PEOPLE.
I went to sunday church services after that.
Because of this crap.
That sucks so much. I can relate all too well to situations like that. So much so, that I’ve kind of lost faith in people and their promises. People tend to say they’ll do this or that, but never keep their word either because they’re just so busy or either you’re just not important enough to them. Whenever I sent old friends messages like that on myspace or something and they didn’t reply back, I wouldn’t bother them again. I now have alot of trust issues because of being let down alot in life.
