The vibess

I think introverts are smarter that most of the world population, like I objectively think that, lol. I noticed that the more I hang around other people the more negativity and bullshit comes into my life and influences me to do dumb s***

Might stay home at christmas. Hate that f***ing s***. Was alone last year and watched Johnny English by myself, and that was the best christmas i've had.

Same but New Year’s Eve for me lol. Hate NYE

Staying home as much as I can tbh. F*** NYE and christmas. Dont even go out for familys birthdays either.

Keep your family close man. But fake friends nah f*** em

I dont really care about anybody apart from my nephew and grandpa tbh

in an era where u can have anything delivered, introverts are living like KINGS

and queens

and trans royalty

infp in this hoe

that sounds great to me in theory but then i’d prob end up talking myself down in the meantime im never satisfied

just can't be around people for longer stretches of time
just can't do it physically lmao

I was pretty suicidal at that time. Considered killing myself on christmas eve just to ruin everybodys christmas. But it was pretty chill actually.

that’s wild man, glad you seem a bit out of that mind state now, much love.

Honestly bro thinking like thats only gon do more harm than good. Yeah some people talk s*** but why assume the worst? And who cares if people find you annoying or talk s*** behind your back? You do you. Lowkey even thinking like that you outwardly project that energy at people without realizing. Ever since i stopped giving a s*** lifes been 10x better.

Also if i could suggest something that seems dumb, take magnesium supplements im a lot less anxious now that i supplement s*** regularly

It's hard. In retrospect, I tell myself I'm probably making it worse than it really is, but I can't help it during the situation.

Don't worry, man. That's not dumb at all. I believe in supplements for things like this, so I'll look into it. What brand do you recommend?

The question confuses me a bit.
Are you asking if it’s possible to be an extrovert with social anxiety? If so, the answer is yes.

Or are you asking how to know if you’re just an introvert or have social anxiety?

If that’s the case, there should be symptoms you can notice as you’re about to be in a social situation.
Those vary from person to person, but stomach pains, trembling, sweating, etc. are very common ones for example.

If you notice that these symptoms negatively affect your daily life, you should probably go talk to a professional.

Honestly i just grab that generic costco brand s***

Another supplement that could help is omega 3, specifically krill oil cuz thats apparently a more healthy way to supplement omega 3s

I will say though it took close to 6 months of taking these supplements for me to really feel different. That coupled with me making an effort to put myself in anxiety inducing situations daily is what ended up helping me be really relaxed.

It's actually crazy how in a year just off exercise, eating better, supplementing and meditating (when i can) completely changed everything for me. I'm not even a 1/10th as anxious as i was.

Yeah getting out ur own head is the hard part. For mindfulness meditation helped me with that cuz it forces u to be a spectator to ur own thought process and that carries over to when ur not meditating too in everyday life. Like ill catch myself thinking negatively or anxiously and i can now direct my thoughts to a more positive direction

First part was literally me two years ago. Social anxiety suppressed my extroverted side for years, which made me think that I was an introvert, which I’m not.

Idk if I’m 100% extroverted, all I know is I’m definitely not a 100% introverted either. Because I actually do love to be around people. The right people. I still need time to “recharge” after being around people for too long, but I think that’s normal and essential. Everyone needs time for themselves and everyone should also enjoy their own company.

But I think there’s a big difference between needing time for yourself and really preferring to be alone.

I also think that a lot of people misinterpret themselves due to bad experiences and fear. Not pointing fingers at anyone, just my personal observation.

Social anxiety almost exclusively comes with depression due to isolation. And isolating yourself is a lot easier than getting into a confrontation.

I used to rather stay quiet than get involved, because it made me feel safe. I couldn’t get hurt if I didn’t say anything. But what I didn’t realize is that it also nullified my chances of being happy, too, because you eventually go numb.

Anyways, if you suffer from SA and work two retail jobs, that’s one hell of an achievement and you can be very proud of yourself. I’d say keep going, but don’t overdo it. One job is enough, especially if the other is toxic. Keep working on yourself and I’m sure better times will come. You got this.

Thanks brother
