What is wrong with me?
Posted On 04/09/2008 11:14:19 by GlowBug23

I ask myself this too many times. What is wrong with me? I wish someone could answer that, and even more than that I wish it were a simple fix. You crave sugar, you eat a damn cookie. Problem solved... why can't it be that simple???

I'm approaching my 23rd birthday, and all I can think is how I am relationshipless still. It's not that I even want to be in a relationship (I DONT actually) so much as I wish I had the option. I don't so much long to be out with friends so much as I wish I could make them if I DID want them. And then part of me wonders a little bit if the reasons I don't want them are because I can already feel how uncomfortable I would be around them. I crave people's company, and yet depise it when I have it. All I can think about is a way out, and when I'm out all I can think about is how I can't get in.

*le sigheth* 

 I wish I could figure out if I simply DON'T fit in, if I really CAN'T connect, or if it is really all just SA. Another part of me wonders if I have a lack of confidence because of the SA or if I have SA because I lack confidence. It's so the chicken and the friggen egg. Which comes first? Which is a reaction of the other and does anyone have a simple answer?

I noticed most of my anxiety stems from not wanting people to look at me-- from feeling too fat and too ugly. I feel like if I could hide in a turtle shell I'd be just fine. I had feeling fricken JUDGED all the time, and come on... at this age you KNOW your peers are still judging you. I guess I wish I could like myself more, but I have no idea where to begin. I wish I could find people that have all my interests, but I don't even know where to look. I'm a writer... writers don't LEAVE THE HOUSE. How will I ever FIND them?

I need a nice coffee drinking, poetry writing, anti-social emo boy, I think.

oh wow. i can 100% relate to what youre saying.  in fact, i wrote a blog just like this a few days ago! I hate people looking at me too, i always just want to crawl into a hole, and i completely agree about the relationship thing. i dont necessarily want one, but wish someone would want one with me. hah. no, but its crazy how much i relate to this. i like to put on a front, but i feel the same way every day.

Wow thats a deep blog. To answer the first question You can fit in and can connect its usualy the SA holding you back.

Sometimes we realy dont fit or connect and just try too hard to get along. SA somtimes causes us to be people pleasers.

To answer the other queston lack of confidence does contribute to our SA.

The other thing you mentioned about being judged. I think performance anxiety is also a hughe part of our SA.

And finaly you wished that you could find others like minded people.We are all righ here on SAF. Hey your wish has already been granted.LOL  I too am attracted to the rebel loner types.
