Insecurity, Sadness, Anxiety, and such matters II: This is Troper Counseling Services and Support Group: round two because the old one edited 25th Jan '13 3:16:33 PM by Willbyr This post was thumped by the Merciless Hammer of Doom edited 1st Sep '10 5:35:55 AM by EnglishIvy 628 Senator Awesome Pants, Wed, 1st Sep '10 5:37:58 AM from the Neuro Tower
Relationship Status: In bed with a green-skinned space babe ![]() not a role-model
Honestly, I've found most people to be vastly different from their public appearance or name/rep. My reputation in high school was always an arrogant whore for example. I was a very very insecure virgin, it was because I was friends mainly with guys and was an actress who took it too far in early high school(and in my second high school after moving it was because of rumors spread by certain people who disliked me). Most people, regardless, at least by themselves tend to be rather nice. But yes, it is intimidating. I'm shy around new people... so it only stands to reason that an introvert would be more so.
Being an introvert is not inherently bad though. Nor is being an extrovert. It simply is. And it's the best thing to remember. I think anyway.
Ivy: Ok!
XD I'm no Easterner. I'm on the edge of that time zone(right around Louisville.) and have been in the Pacific time zone and in Taipei Time sometimes(longer than Pacific but nowadays only rarely).

@Ivy. I volunteer, provided I get to spank you.
@SAP. The apologetic tone confuses me. I figure you have raging BDD but sometimes yeah I need to lampshade how ridiculous it gets. If those photos are at all an accurate representation of you, you're dangerously underweight.
Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?

Korg: I feel always like I offended someone by speaking of my opinion of my weight or self. So I need to apologize. I have no idea if that makes sense. BDD? Maybe. Might be brought on by years of being made fun of in school or the years of eating ...issues... I've had and have been trying as hard as fuck to get over. Recently, I've almost given up though. sigh Like I said, intellectually, I grasp exactly how thin I am and how I look. It just doesn't translate to me right. And I'm also naturally small.(Yes, the photos are accurate. I take them, I put them on photobucket, I post them. Right then. My sister's thinner though. And without any thing like me. She wants to gain.) My natural weight is only about 10 pounds higher than recent. (I've been lower. I've been higher.) That is one of the reasons that I'm going to the mental health people today.
Also, I do know how ridiculous it sounds. I almost erase each post with it in it. But I fucking need to get it out. And I'm sorry, because I know that it's stupid, that it's ridiculous and immature.
Dove: Join a club? I'm doing that today. I don't know. I'm bad at suggesting stuff like this, as I'm simply useless right now.(Haven't really made any new friends not in university classes or Waffle House peeps since 08.)

Good to know. You need help. But you didn't need me to tell you that.
I wish I had some sort of advice to give you at times like this, but I can't really relate to your situation at all. My combination of hedonism, pigheaded survival instinct and having a very malleable concept of identity mean that self image issues are something I don't grasp too well.

College campuses are apt to have students of many ages, not just the usual 18-22 range. And in a lot of cases, older students get treated like a kind of Cool Old Guy, even if they're not that old.

In Britain, almost every class will have at least a couple of mature students (which includes those in their mid-twenties). We certainly had several in our year, and they were just as highly regarded as the rest of us - more so in many cases, because they'd already been there, done that with the reckless late teenage/early twenties partying so were now just looking to buckle down and work. Since they paid attention, and my course (financial services) involved a lot of group tasks, they commanded a lot of respect.
Don't see any reason for it to be any different State-side.

You know what?
I really, really, really, really desperately do not want to believe I am a monster anymore.

![]() I'm the world's greatest
Well, I was at Anime Club and I was watching my friends and seeing how happy they were because they didn't have to deal with believing they were monsters, and they didn't randomly shut down because they're afraid if they keep talking they're going to be attacked. And I was jealous.

![]() I'm the world's greatest
I have panic attacks randomly in which I'll just shut down, stop talking to anyone, and go somewhere and cry because of all the people calling me a monster and because after a while I'll be talking and then suddenly I'll get scared the people I'm talking to will attack me out of nowhere.
This even happens when I'm hanging out with my soulbonds.

DLC: You are many things, but you are most certainly not a monster. Do not mind rape yourself into believing you are.

You should get some therapy for that, really. :/ Sounds like some sort of anxiety disorder to me.

You're only a monster if you have tentacles and/or you kill people.
I think it's safe to say that you do not do either.
An useless name, a forsaken connection.

@Black Dove: I spent the entire summer last year and most of the autumn being called a monster and being told I shouldn't be alive by every single person on a website. In addition to that they played with my mind and kept twisting things so I began to believe it.
This past week my worst enemy resurfaced and started telling people I choke cats. The worst part is people believed her. Do I really seem like the kind of person who'd choke a cat?
