If the advice would've been given in a more constructive criticism way then maybe I would've been able to see the POV she was expressing more effectively. Even when I tried to have a truce and thought our squabble was water under the bridge she attacked me again.
Translation = I saw what P-Angel was saying and took a pic of just my ass, and posted it. The two days later, I made new pics of my old pose because I liked that better and P-Angle mentioned what she observed and it hurt my feelings that she was looking at me, eventhough I am actually gussying myself up to take amazing pics of myself for everyone to see.
It's just horrible that she mentioned that I took my ass pic off ... **** cries ****click to expand

Its not really about my past. I already forgave them and don't hold them in contempt. Its about my anxieties. The now. Not then.
I already know all of what you said.
Social Anxiety is not a "shit" that one can grow out of. This shit stays with a person for life and can only be "managed".
You think growing up without a father is easy to get over? If all i had to worry about was not being able to socialize....that's nothing dude...I forgot how young you are...you can grow out of it...just try hard..click to expand

Okay then, I take back saying you have amazing pics, because you obviously are so focused on the negative that me complimenting how you look slipped your superficial awareness .. and you apparantly want me to hate you so fucking bad that you are crying about it even still.
So, take back what I said .. instead, I say ...
.. you take horrible fucking pics ... you're so ugly, goddam
Is that better? Are you satisfied now and will stop crying?
Because I certainly wouldn't want you to realize that by you saying, "I actually have a RL as well and in that life I get dressed up and pics are taken" ... is the same thing as me saying you get gussyied up for pics because then that would negate your desire in believing that I'm against you some way, since you apparantly remind yourself of it every chance you get.

Take on a little acting part in a play .. be the villian .... face being an asshole publicly just to try it on and see how it feels, and this way, it's you doing it, it's the character, so there can't be any anxieties about how you present yourself.

Eastern culture, modesty, shyness and introversion are valued.
Western culture, being confident = loud, opinionated, extraverted, etc...
You're not a people pleaser. If anyone interprets your qualities as a lack of self-confidence, that's their own cultural-centric ignorance. Stop expecting yourself to be something you're not and recognize the value in the qualities that you possess.
Western culture interprets extroversion as a virtue when it's not, it's just a different way of being. Introvert or extrovert, there's no right or wrong, no one better way of being than another. What matters is being yourself, no matter the surroundings.
The need to please the parents will subside as you get older and leave the nest. Don't focus on it. Just keep on keeping and being you.
You are a gentle, humble, wise soul. Anyone should be PROUD and LUCKY to be you.

Being a villian in a play sounds like a very good idea.
Haha. But much like your husband I lack in the confidence department. Theres always the video games that I have where I get to kill people and feel good about it.
I did find though that when I'm using my heart for anything that isn't dark I forget that I have any anxiety. Like when I'm writing romances I feel wonderful.
Thats what I should be doing right now actually. I still didn't finish that story I came here to do research for. Made the good mistake of signing myself up.

Social anxiety has never made sense to me LOL! You're scared to talk to people?

You know what? Something I told my husband to try, but, I guess he doesn't have the confidence to do ... I really think it might help ...

Not the act of talking to people. The negativity that can be associated with social situations is what can get to me.
The ironic part is that there is usually no negativity to begin with and its all self-induced.
Thats what makes it irrational and perhaps even funny to people.

I hate typos .. I wish they would make computers that corrected it for you, so you wouldn't even have to edit yourself.

Which generation of your family was it that decided to moved to the States?

I had crippling social anxiety when I was younger, not so crippling anymore but, definitely hasn't gone completely away. The only way I know how to deal with it and the only thing that has helped (I've never done counseling or taken meds for it) is to just put myself out there. Work jobs where I have to interact with people. Again, this is what I've found works for me, better than drinking, which I had done in the past. Anyway, that's just my two centsclick to expand
Yeah, I also had bouts of bad social anxiety, especially at high school. It was more so at the peak of my depression, and I couldn't even look people in the eye. Like, when walking through the halls, I'd walk really fast and look down because I was convinced that if I looked at someone, they would judge me immediately. I would get really tense around a lot of people, mainly in the cafeteria during lunch. Like cancergem, I never had counseling even though my mother tried to make me go; I'm not exactly sure how I slowly got over it. I think when I joined my high school's literary club and I became editor, I began to open up more because I was in my element reading and writing poetry, and everyday we would have to read our work to our peers (it was a small classroom, so it made it easier). We had to work on being able to speak in front of others, and the class was big on not judging others; eventually, when it came time to have literary festivals, we would have to speak in front of a large student body. Needless to say, I was petrified because not only was I going to have to speak in front of peers I always tried to avoid, but with a microphone and reading some of my most personal work while making eye contact. But with a lot of practice, it became easier. I still have some trouble looking people in the eye, but I can do it more now, and I've gotten so much better at getting in front of people.
So, while I don't know exactly what you enjoy Jason, although I have a feeling you might enjoy poetry, that is a good way to sort of deal with social anxiety. If you can find an intimate group of people who you know will not judge you, perhaps you can practice being around them, being up front and in the spotlight with them. I know someone mentioned this too, but getting involved with an acting group is a good example.

It was waaayyy before that P-Angel as it was when I first joined last November or so. I never cried a river and I am not doing so now. The thing about even the picture comment is that it was in a thread not having anything to do with pictures and you just found it necessary to be mean about mine. So what if I had the same pose in a thousand pictures as I am not and never claimed to be a model. It was the way you brought it up out of nowhere like you were just looking for a jab at me. I didn't cry at all though just realized you really aren't a nice person to a lot of people on here is all. I do see that you are a nice person to some though so I will give you that and when you are it's really nice.
