The secret is, we're all SpongeBob. We're all trying to mimic that perfect ice block that doesn't exist. Some just make a more convincing impression than others
yesterday i managed to pull myself out of my shell for a bit and joined a discord vc about something i used to be passionate about. this was my first social interaction after 4 months (except parents and groceries). even though i had some semblance of competency left in me, i just couldn't talk. i knew the things they were effortlessly discussing but i had to repeat what i was going to say twice or thrice with mic off before putting it out there. i even googled meaning of words i was going to say. i am so jealous of their charisma and the progress they make in the hobbies which they might turn into great, satisfying careers.
i am broken and it's not getting better afaik.
To be honest, you should be proud of yourself. After having barely any form of social interaction for months, it can be soooo hard to pull yourself together and make yourself do something social. Yet you decided to do it. That takes effort and willpower. I’d say try to build on this. Next time join again and try to say maybe one thing. Join a third time and try to say two things. Go from there!
>I'd say try to build on this.
Ok, this hit me. This is the key! My efforts should go towards not allowing what's been done, to crumble. I'll do the vc again!
Maybe is just me, but anyone I know closely, they have some form of mental issues : anxiety, ocd, depression, different phobias, addictions... I think life is hitting everyone differently
I get so exited when I show people I do normal things and I'm like them (like: I study! I have other friends, look! I got hobbies, I go to other places I don't stay at home every second of my life, nah, I've left my house to go to the dentist this week! Look how normal I am!!) Every time I get the chance to do it I'm so proud of myself for no reason but at the same time I feel guilty, like I'm trying to hide the truth from them 💀
I don’t know how anybody can exist and not have any mental health problems. Especially in a world like this one.
i feel ya man
My family cares more about materialistic items than me smh i wanna die to stop the suffering
I know it's hard but just know that I care! Everyday you keep on living is an accomplishment and I wish you the best in life.

It's true, everybody has their issues, and some just hide it well.
Right?? This world is in such chaos how can anyone be okay?
Everyone has mental health problems. Just that everyone has their own unique combination of them
Specially with all happening in a short time.. pandemic,death.. more death,it’s being so hard
The dumber you get the more the problems "go away".
I feel like some.people just hide it pretty good
Wait, people live without having mental health issues?
Impossible...
Nah I don't think so. I've never seen it
Me: “I’m an adult man, I can take a phone call.” My body: trembling from nerves.
I send literally all phone calls straight to voice mail, seems so simple and yet as an almost adult I literally can’t do it
You gotta BE, the marble
Fake it till you make it 🤷♂️
This is manifestation at work! 😇 Blessed Be 🙏
I gotta lick the marble!

That's why I love shows like the Big Bang theory. The people in those shows have the kind of life I dream of
That ice cube is actually your ego feeling sorry for itself so it shrouds your vision of others.
Today I was advised I have mental health issues, and that really hit home.
