    behaving differently around different people/groups

    I find that I often "adapt" my personality to certain people. It's like with each individual (co-workers, friends, family) I develop a certain image or personality that "fits" with that person. I wouldn't behave a certain way or talk a certain way to one person as I do with another. Sometimes...

    The right time to speak up

    Does anyone else always have trouble with knowing when exactly to speak up in a conversation (with multiple people)? Whenever I am in groups, and something peaks my interest and I want to chime in, most of the time I wait for a quiet moment, and then when I speak almost always someone else...

    Relationship to parents

    Do you think not having a strong or solid relationship with your parents can make people less confident and socially capable and other mental problems? I lost my parents at an early age and feel that it sort of emotionally left a hole in me, like it left me without a solid basal foundation in...

    Getting unstuck

    I like this motivational speaker and especially this particular segment. Often hearing him talk can ignite the spark in me to "get going" when I'm in a slump (procrastinating from doing things I need to do) and he says some profound yet simple things that I sometimes need to reinforce in myself...

    Need some advice career-wise

    For the past few years I've fallen into serious depression and the 'stuck in a rut' feeling has overcome me for quite a while. I studied art, and fell out of the study. Lately I've been trying again and again to be productive and make things, but it's just not coming out the way I want: I feel...

    Ego problem

    Because I've suffered from serious stagnation in life during my twenties, (not finishing college, several years of isolation, not having a sufficient social circle) I've started to develop quite a serious ego problem, probably stemming from feelings of feeling inferior. Basically I have this...

    Overstimulation

    Often when there's a lot of stuff going on around me, like a conversation with multiple people in the same room, I tend to get a little over-stimulated. Sometimes I also feel like I get a little manic, get too laugh-y, say dumb/inappropriate things etc. I feel like I totally lose my normal self...

    My mind turns into a cesspool

    If anyone ever watched Ren and Stimpy, this is what my brain feels like, the inside of Ren's head. I recently have been having horrible outbursts of negative thoughts, when alone, about other people that I know or sometimes just general misanthropy and hate for groups of people. It's like a...

    Only do things when absolutely necessary

    This is really a theme throughout my life. I only really work at things to get it done, when there's an absolute necessesity for it. And I do mean necessity, like I'd end up a hobo if I wouldn't act. The rest of the time I procrastinate, or make plans or dream, while the piles of bills/work...

    Humans antromorphing animals

    What do you think of this? My sister has a dog and several cats, and she talks to them, and makes up/ attributes human personalities to all of them. She has almost no friends. I don't want to be too judgemental of her, but sometimes it scares me a little to the point where I don't know wether...

    Overeating

    I feel sometimes better if I over-eat, especially when I have to sit down and focus on something. Often when I start something, and I am eating healthy doses, I feel like some sort of emptiness, and restlessness and also tiredness. Easily distracted. When I eat a lot, and drink a lot of soda...

    Messy home

    One of the things I constantly have to deal with but don't do, is KEEPING MY HOME CLEAN. I feel so much better when my room is in a state of tidyness instead of looking like a junkyard. Sadly, I always let it slide, and then my depression and anxiety and mood swings go through the roof again...

    Urge to sever friendships

    I'm tired of always being the one that initiates contact all the time and at this point I'm like f*** em. It's not worth it anymore and it just brings me down. Since making some radical changes to myself a few years ago to be more initiative taking, it seems like people had already given up on...

    Aimless and lost

    I just want to say this is a depressing rant in advance. Days/months/years pass by, and I am stuck in a giant rut. All I have is a night job that I hate, and that's not even fulltime. I feel miserable and aimless on my days off, I try to get things done but I just feel tired and lonely. I...
