#socialising sometimes

where's my award for hiding my daily panic attaccs

Been thinking 'bout Fresh lately

If you guys didn't notice I got high on crack through the middle of this

my thing is, i want to talk to people. i want to be good at socialising. but i've never really had much practice, so i don't know how? i don't know how to carry on a conversation. it makes me nervous and anxious and makes my stomach hurt and it tires me out. i would love to have a constant back and forth. it'd be swell lmao

unfortunately. i cannot and it's confusing. i want to talk, but i can't. and i also don't want to? mental illness cocktail gets in the way

like earlier i was going to speak to people, i'd typed a couple messages out!! but i figured they wouldn't want to talk to me which is fine i know that's likely just the anxiety. so then i thought "i know, mitigate the risk!! i'll ask if people want to chat about a specific topic with me so they have to opt in" and then panicked because that would mean people would talk to me? which is what i wanted? LMAO

confusing and irritating, so i made a meme

me @ my pain flared self that got up at 7:30am: you know you could simply. not go to a party at your best friend‘s place with a whole bunch of people you don’t know who will probably be loud and drunk in the middle of the night and instead simply go to sleep and hopefully wake up not aching

also me: :) maybe socialising will cure the pain and the tireds :)

feminist literature ruined my life

[lacunasbalustrade]

went to an interview today and some parts were very nice but one part that had me looking for beef was me saying 'some people find me intimidating because I like to read' and that if I got in, I was looking forward to meet people who intellectually challenge me, and the interviewer went 'oh but are you going to just read and ignore people?' and the other went 'how do you know the other participants will be what you hope what if other countries are ✨ less stringent ✨ than Singapore and don't have our selection processes' which is just so silly because 1. I read to listen to people who write, and obviously if an interesting person is in front of me I'd set aside the book, and if they're insecure in themselves why am I supposed to approach them? they just assumed right off the bat that I am stuck up, wrong, I just want to talk to people who are confident enough to hold a civil conversation without making me tone myself down for them, it's my greatest wish actually. 2. He's saying that Singapore is the literal best country and we're going there to represent the best?? we're there to internationalise why are you saying I shouldn't have high hopes for other people?? then why would I even want to go??? and the kids going there are way more amazing than me which I know firsthand from research and communication with them on the discord server u didn't even know about! I brought cookies to the interview!! why are you assuming that I am not socially adept and that I am shy simply because I don't like talking to Every Available Person Around??! lack of reading comprehension in these guys. I don't wanna be elitist or rude but it is a fact that there r ppl u can't get along w because they include u for the sake of inclusion which is absolutely insulting and then there are lovely beautiful people who are nonetheless scared by you and it's important not to freak them out by pouncing on them.

Sometimes I just want to explode in delight and wonder at the fact that all these cool people let me bother them with my silly headcanons and AUs like I CANNOT EVEN.

me watching other phans talk about dnf and act as if it's terrible and gross with the 2k dteam images on my phone shoved up my ass (as well as countless fics)

kind of annoys me sometimes how I can happily listen to my roommate explain the entire plot of whatever she's currently into but when it comes to my interests she can only listen for a few mins before wordlessly walking out of the room

It frustrates me to no end that everyone I talk to someone new my brain catastrophises to the point where even though I know logically it’s fine, and normal, and fun, I end up making it a bigger deal in my head that I know it is…I think myself into spirals that the logical part of my brain knows are ridiculous and dramatic and improbable, which stress me out more than is entirely necessary…it’s so tiring to exist and participate in the social world sometimes

Bryce met his classmate Aminah who was part of the Brainiacs. He wanted to join so he could manage studying time and meet with other like-minded people. Half way into their studying, Bryce got a text from Billy telling him about a house party and to invite anyone he knew....and so he invited Aminah and Freddy!!

Join the Brainiacs Group while at Uni ✅️

this is why no one at work knows when my birthday is <3

[broadleaf-hobbyist]

I got too absorbed in some work, and turned around to find that the particularly temperamental Tepig I’m looking after had scorched all of the snacks I’d bought myself to ashes… I guess I didn’t feed her fast enough for her liking!

I love all Pokémon equally, regardless of their looks, personality, or troubles. But...when it comes to snacks, I can't help but be a little disappointed when one of my oh-so-carefully looked after Pokémon fosters decides to destroy them. -_-; Yes, this has happened multiple times...
