can i complain for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

hi...

Is it okay if i complain about a few things

I already posted in the introduction forum but i'm going to introduce myself here as well.
I'ts just going to be a bit whinier

i been getting bouts anxiety and depression since i was a child and
i find it hard to get motivated to do anything so i kind of feel useless.

what i mean is, i'd like to have all sorts of interesting hobbies and interests, but alot of the time i just don't feel the motivation to pursue those interests

so, i feel like i'm a really boring person

i also find i have trouble fitting in.
the last time i had any friends was when i was 15, but having no friends was sort of a choice until recently.
i'm getting a little lonely
the problem is that i'm really shy and i have no idea why i'm like that.
i wish i was more outgoing like everyone else

i shouldn't complain to much, though. i do attend some social events sometimes and my family is really supportive, so.....

anyway, thank you so much for listening to my gripes
i know it isn't very fun to listen to other peoples problems and i'm really, really grateful

so, thank you. i'll listen to some of your problems sometime, i promise okeeeeey,

Nice to meet you asda
Depression and anxiety suck and can sap your motivation, but whenever you feel slightly motivated, just try something small, eg read a book. You will find after a while you'll get into the story if it's a good book and you'll want to read it more and more, and I guess the same thing happens with most hobbies. I also think most aspies have problems fitting in and a lot of us are shy but it's no big deal, there are other people like you out there you just haven't found them yet. Not very interesting advice but hey I never said it was going to be,

Hi, Cad!
thank you so much for the advice and encouragement

I really think that i wouldn't be so depressed all the time if i had friends.
and i'd have friends if i wasn't so shy! >_<

i'm just so self-conscious and i'm always worried about making a good impression on people


sorry

i feel kind of selfish when i complain like this



oh, and also, i much prefer it if you called me patrick or paddy or whatever
sorry, but when i signed up i thought you could change your username ;_;

I had the same problem too when I was 15. Eventually improved later when ppl became more mature and intersting to talk to. Do feel free to PM me if you need advice. Good luck!
