It’s quite complex to describe but I can be a little awkward, sometimes a little abrupt without meaning to. I can be quite focused on something in my mind (what I’m thinking about or doing in that moment) and miss a few of the niceties if that makes sense. Does that resonate at all?

I wrote this to you before, it’s okay to take a break, focus on self care. But you can improve your social interactions, don’t give up on that. This can be your chance to self nurture and grow. |

Same for me about not coming across how I would like. The confrontations where I have to make a conscious effort to use “I” statements can easily degrade into door slamming. You are not alone.

People express themselves as their best but I, I , repeat, would elude to refer to people with terms that might seem medical such as avoidant personality, narcissistic, passive-aggressive personality for three reasons: We are not professionals, there are people here who have been professionally diagnosed with the accurate medical term and finally, we may lead to confusion.

Try our best but mistakes are inevitable. Then, models of communication viewed as we were kids are also there. And cognitive distortions play also a big role. I have been learning how to relate to people for my last 30 years and I needed psychologists to realise and process each social interaction and I learnt the hard work have to be done by yourself. I have a book. I’m gonna give it a review, btw, about social skills. It was highly helpful for me. As a great discovering. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

These kind of confrontations where someone is being hurtful and we want better are a huge trigger to take us subconscious back to a child state that can easily lead to a meltdown/lashing out etc… __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" .

Idk, I honestly can’t handle anymore rejection. I’m obviously doing something wrong and/or I have the worst luck with most people

I’m probably a lost cause. I’m certain that I’m going to give up on even trying to talk to people anymore 100%. Maybe even online too. I’m a failure & most people obviously dislike me & think that I’m weird, crazy & stupid. The only people who are interested in associating with me are usually selfish user types who only seem to want someone to use as a free therapist, ugh! I’m not likeable & most people just don’t like me period no matter what I do or don’t do. Even on here people think I’m stupid & weird. I give up, this is way to hard I’m sick of ‘working’ not getting paid for anything. |

FWIW, I don’t find you weird, crazy & stupid.. I think most of us here are all trying to improve relationships and healthier ways. I thought this was a good discussion with lots of ideas and different ways to look at communication. Hang in there. I think you are brave to talk about these struggles.

I could refute each one of the points you brought up in this last post you wrote. You’re not gonna believe me but this is how I see it. For example; Some people using you as a free psychologist. I see it the other way around. Some people see you empathic, a person who thinks and is familiar with these issues, especially psychological ones so they tend to find this warmth and comprehension to open them up to you. Of course, this is a double edged sword, because you need your own space and rest from all this stuff and have fun. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits.

But we can get the best of these people. Everyone triggers others and this may be used as an advantage. An opportunity to know ourselves better.
Why I feel triggered by that or such person? that or such act? What does it have to do with me? Did (s)he touch a sensible point, a pending issue in myself? I’m not saying we must put up with anything or take in whatever. No, I’m not. Sometimes responsibility is equal in both parties. I mean…I may feel triggered because of something within myself but sometimes the other person behaves in a way that also say a lot about themselves. Again, relationship aren’t easy but only we can change is ourselves. I’m talking in general about an opportunity to learn and be better ourselves and be comfortable with how we are. Sorry for my mistakes in English, girls, Fuzzy and Jesyka. __________________ Social Anxiety and Depression. Cluster C traits. Trying to improve my English.

Stupid, crazy and weird people wouldn’t be posting questions about various situations, ansking for suggestions and discussing different ways to handle life. Most certainly you, Jesyka, are none of those things

I certainly don’t see you in that way. But I wonder who called you those things growing up because it’s often an echo of our past when we feel those things about ourselves. I speak from experience here.
I agree with Azul. If people thought you were weird or stupid why would they confide in you? Most people have to feel a bond or a rapport with someone to open up to them. I also agree if people don’t respect our boundaries (or we don’t make them clear) it can be exhausting. |
