i feel somewhat similar. i think it may be more like paranoia though. i try to calm down, it’s pretty hard, but music is good for calming you down. i like listening to mr brightside by the killers since it’s upbeat
How old are you?
When I was 13-15 I went through a “rough” period in my life, I went to school quet and didn’t speak to anyone, kept my head down all the time…everyone would always ask me what as wrong. I always looked at the other kids and thought I was nothing like them when I realized about a year later I was so wrong because I had every right to be there just as much as they did and I was human just like they are human.
I should have mingled and got payback when there was payback to be given and I regret it since. The truth is that what you have is anxiety and it is a great possibility it will go away through time. My best advice to you is that it doesn’t matter what you look like or what kind of clothes you wear, etc., etc.
I realized that what matters is cliche, but pretty true. All that matters is what’s on the inside. You are just like them and you live your life, you only live once. Don’t let something you’ll later regret get to you.
i’m 15 actually…my profile lies. i’m a freshman and when i went to school, none of my friends came with me. meanwhile, a lot of other students knew someone from their old school or the summer program before hand. i was quiet like you, but i forced myself to socialize cause my sis advised me too. she said making friends was the number one prioirity for the first few days of school.
when you thought you were nothing like them, people are always proud to be different now. some even try to be different. yea, i try to stray away from mainstream clothing myself unless i really like it. i try to accept myself, it works most of the time actually, but the barrier of lies i sometimes put up to make myself feel good falls down and i have a sort of breakdown.
just listen to music for a while, but don’t rely on it and be sucked into some world of fantasy because you live in reality, not there.
same here, it’s cliche, but true.
dear bifob14 & anoymous #,
thank you i’m glad that you responded i just feel so insane and alone sometimes.
i’m an eccletic person to, and everything just feels so crazy.
can we all talk more?
btw i’m a freshman to.
oh thanks :] i was just about to ask how old you were.
if you don’t mind my asking: what school?
loneliness is hardly fun. i try to indulge myself in some hobby. i dont have any real ones though, just trying new things or going online. that isn’t that great though and we should try socializing more
Are you creative by any chance?
Try taking up writing. Maybe a journal. It helps. You might end up liking to do it and start taking writing up as a hobby. It’s helped me.
i’m creative only when some sort of idea hits me. if i’m forced to think of something, i can’t, but yea…i do write fanfics…sometimes, but i really suck too, i wouldn’t expect much from my writing if i were you.
yea, journals. i tried, but i couldn’t commit myself to it. i actually like to lie on my floor or a really flat surface, turn the lights off, cloe my eyes, and listen to music. i’m not meditating, i think i’m just relaxing, but it’s like i’m forced to breath evenly or something and it’s calming.
