all the brilliant ideas yet such lackluster execution, they're better off staying untarnished in my head
but damn, do I wish I could share them as they are, not the poor imitation that seems to come out of my pencil or keyboard when I try to release them
this is the eternal struggle of the overthinking perfectionist.
- totallllyyy understandable. an overthinking perfectionist. it takes over your entire life at times and bleh it's horrible. but hey, you're such a strong writer. you made a post seem so poetic and i am really impressed because i couldn't even write a simple poem about butterflies when i was younger. maybe to help you you can write down ideas of what you want to write about.
sometimes that can get the brain flowing and going (it always helps when i'm thinking of blog posts to write!). although it doesn't feel like it, you'll come round to it soon! good luck!<3
shiga wrote:yo anyone wanna help a fella out and tell me how to stop overthinking things all the time
- i would love to think i have a solution but wouldn't the world be a heck of a lot simpler. to be honest i do not even have advise for this post because i can't even stop myself from overthinking so lord knows how i'm going to come up with tips for it. i guess what helps me to lessen my overthinking (of course, still overthinking) is to face the situation and figure out the 'pros and cons' of it if it is one of those kind of things. if not, well that's a darn diddly struggle because that's the hardest thing for me.
whatever it is, i hope it all works out for you soon! good luck!<3

- that's me everyday but hey another day that's been lived! figure out what's gone wrong today and work on a better tomorrow. totalllyyyy easier said than done because if one bad day happens for me i just make the rest of the week bad and pretty soon that turns into the rest of the month but it's worth a try tackling the problems! good luck!<3
Nicky Midnight wrote:I just don't understand why this always happens to me. I really don't. Apparently I'm just really not meant to have friends. Every single time I think I have friends, they all just stop talking to me, for what seems like no reason. I can never figure out what I did wrong. And even when I make it clear that it's hurting me and that I want them to talk to me, they see it but never respond. It seems like they just don't care, they really just don't want to talk to me. And you know what? This time I really believed I may have real friends. After years of believing that there was really no such thing as friends - that no matter what, no one would ever like me and that I would just never have anyone who really liked or cared about me - I actually believed that they would be different. That lasted a few months. Now I don't know anymore. They just quit talking to me. I don't know what the hell happened. It's really only been a couple weeks but it feels like it's been months. But this has happened before, where no one talked to me for a few weeks, for no reason. Then everything went back to normal. I never figured out why or if I had done something. I just don't know. And now I'm starting again to believe that there is really no such thing as "friends," it's just something everyone wants to believe. Everyone wants to believe they have friends, but they're not real. Or maybe there's just something wrong with me like I've been told by every adult in my life for years, ever since I was little. Maybe that's why I have no friends. Because they're right and there's something really wrong with me. I don't know. I was just finally getting used to and accepting the fact that I didn't have friends and was starting to believe that I didn't need them and would be fine without them, then suddenly I had friends again. People who I actually believed I could really be friends with, I actually thought they cared about me. I'm just so sick of this. I'm sick of always being upset over them. I'm sick of always caring more about everyone else when they don't really seem to care about me. I want to message them but I'm just too scared to at this point because it's been like two weeks, and if they wanted to talk to me, they would have messaged me by now, right? Especially since they keep seeing me posting about how much this has upset me. If they cared and wanted to talk to me, they would have by now. And I don't want to bother anyone who doesn't want to talk to me. I just don't know anymore and I'm so tired of this. I'm tired of always getting upset because of things like this. Maybe it would be better if I stopped trying to even have friends. Then I wouldn't have to worry about losing them.
- as much as the world seems to bite you and tear you apart and make you think you shouldn't do or have something or want something, it'll all be okay. i know some people don't think it will, but i can promise you it will. friends come and go, it's a fact. however, i wouldn't listen to the people that tell you you're the one with the problem and the reason you don't have any. i have always had that problem too. it's hard to find a balance in a friendship; one where you both enjoy similar things but you're not too similar. i wouldn't give up trying though, because someone out there is meant to be your friend-soul-mate and there is one out there for everyone. and i know i'm only on a screen, but i'd love to be your friend!! <3

and i know that i'm not a good kid
but they're supposed to help me
not make me feel worse
- it absolutely breaks my heart hearing this from people; i think it's because i feel the same with myself. but what always helps me is this: go look in the mirror and just stand there. think of the reflection of you, as someone else, a friend. if they started saying things about them that they hate, what would you do? would you agree with your friend? or would you say the truth and say how you think they are the opposite of what they hate, which is something you love?
what makes you hate yourself?? is it your appearance? your personality? the way you handle things? the best way to help is to pinpoint what it is you despise and try your hardest to find a way to fix it. i know it is so much harder said than done, because say if you hate your nose, it's not like you can get up and get a nose job. but you need to learn to love your nose!
i hope everything works out for you soon, it's all about self acceptance, and though it seems like a life time away it will soon come.
good luck!<3
Paracosmic wrote:~ 2 weeks since my dad last talked to me, he can't even respond to a simple "i love you"
- i'm sorry he hasn't talked to you! that's horrible! are you able to call him and ask why he isn't responding? i can't really help with this much because i've never been able to relate but maybe try calling him, or maybe he's going through a few things and isn't able to come round to a response (but, saying that, he could take a minute out of his day to respond). i hope things work out soon! good luck <3

i just want the health problems to be over...
- good! you're going back to the docs. i hate the doctors, they scare me. sure, they're friendly, it's just the atmosphere. bleh. but, i am proud of you for getting through all of this! it must be such a painful experience and it's best you go instead of sitting and trying to wait it out. i hope everything is okay soon, you don't deserve to be in this much pain! good luck <3
winged-backpack wrote:I start my first ever real job tomorrow, and I'm just super scared that I'm going to mess it up.
It's only working behind the bar in a local pub, but I'm still pretty terrified, the closest thing I've had to a job before this was babysitting, and even that sent my anxiety through the roof.
I know I'll be fine, and it's normally pretty quiet on a Monday night so my boss will be able to help me through training and stuff, and he seems nice enough, I'm just a big overthinker and could use some word of encouragement.
- ooh, how exciting!! i hope it's gone okay if you've done it already! it's so scary doing a job; i have never done one (unless a paper round counts) and i can understand the anxiety. a paper round is only shoving a newspaper through the letterbox and the first day i did it with my boyfriend i had a massive panic attack! but, the good news is i went through with it, and i'm a stronger person for it. there's my words of encouragement hah. you get through, and you'll feel more confident than ever and you'll be a lot happier and more independent! i am sure it will go wonderfully!! good luck!<3

Ah ha ha got/getting in another fight with my s/o. Making me so mad and i already have a headache and am feeling dizzy <_< not in the mood. nope.
I guess I should take my own advice that I’m always tellin people: you can’t help people who won’t help themselves. So w/e i’m over it.
Don’t know what to do yet but I’m not saying anything rn because I’m really angry. And I’m not nice when I’m not angry so taking a while to breath.
Is it monday yet? .-.
Oh fun here comes the anxiety attack.
Really just want to claw my eyes out at this point.
I tried to play an active game to distract myself and it didn’t work. Shaking and feeling nauseous fantastic.
I keep thinking of bad memories tonight, and i’m really missing my boy Elliot. my heart hurts
- fighting is the worst! i hope you're both okay now! and that you feel better! i'm sorry about elliot, it's always so sad losing a family member (i class pets as family members because they essentially are), but know he is looking down on you and will always be with you! good luck <3
silver jingle wrote:I feel like I come here every week with something else to whine about but, ugh, im just...so done.
I really want to cry, scream, whine, complain, do something to let out my frustrations but I can't, im just screaming at myself in my head but on the outside im doing nothing.
Why am I like this? I can even put my problems into words because its such a hassle and I just don't want to deal with it.
I just its easier to say 'im fine' than to actually deal with whatever's going on.
- don't ever feel bad for coming on here to vent! the thread is here for that reason and how else are you meant to feel better? sometimes a massive vent is all that is needed. do all those stuff you said you want to do. cry, scream, whine, complain. even if you can't verbally, do it by putting a pencil on a piece of paper and scribble until the page rips. eat a slice of pizza angrily and chew chew chew. there are so many ways to express anger quietly. my personal favourite is just flaring my nostrils and breathing heavily. i hope you feel better and everything works out soon! good luck <3

I wish I could help everyone but I can't because I'm scared of rejection
I feel like a soldier on a battlefield who knows the battle is wrong but nobody would listen if I told them
you can't just tell your colleges "I don't want you to die and this war is useless"
and they just be like "oh okay m8 I wont fight anymore lets go eat some icecream"
I feel so betrayed by everything
- i'm sorry about everything going on! there are times where you feel betrayed in life but then you know that they just weren't the ones you can go to for everything. you go throw a tantrum, it's what you need. or, have a day of treating yourself. run a bath. eat a whole tub of ben and jerry's ice cream and feel sick but have no regrets. watch your favourite movies. binge watch a tv series. sometimes doing that will help you a lot. good luck, i hope you feel better soon!<3
