Anjali @vegetarian

Being a very introverted person, very sensitive, can’t tolerate the rudeness of other people(it breaks me down) ,no social skills, very shy from the school days itself , family sucks, my mom has turned all relations with my fathers family into worse,so no family love, financial unstability, etc etc …its hard for me to make friend now in college because I always feel low self esteem as people here are way too extroverted and smart.I get depressed easily. because I think I’m not good enough …therefore I find it hard to make friends easily, talk to peoplee etc etc.

what should I do :(
I feel mentally stress all time

I wish I could help with making friends but I am in the same boat as you, so I am here for you if you ever need to talk about things.
And have you tried journaling or meditating? Give it a shot and see if it helps with you feeling depressed…you can keep track of how you are feeling. Hopefully, I helped with something, and if I didn’t I’m sorry.
I hope the best for you. Have a great day/night❣️

Anjali @vegetarian

@mytimenow

You are right, this is me. I am very glad I did something to help out. Stay strong💪

Don’t stress out. Nicola Tesla was a very introverted person but now everyone knows him. People who are extroverted and act smart or are good in academic studies can be dumb and might lack real life experiences. Don’t compare yourself. You are beautiful in your own way😉 Keep smiling.

And have a wonderful life!!

Hey! I am so sorry about what you are going through but I think making friends is something that will push you out of your comfort zone and who knows! It might help you bloom into a wonderful person! I’d say start small,try talking for sometime to new people and try to get to know them and I feel In that process you shall get to know others too :)

Anjali @vegetarian

yes, I’ll try . Thanks. Means a lot to me :)

Cody @codyz

@kusum

Hi
Your post very clearly indicates you are extremely emotional and sensitive person…
You take everything to heart
But do you know something???
It is you who is suffering
No one else
You are punishing yourself dear.
U know ppl who hurt a sensitive person never realise how much it pains
The sensitive person suffers
While those who hurt they are living their life unbothered n undisturbed…

So…
1.Pls avoid getting too attached to anyone.
Because attachments cause alot of pain.
2.pls donot invest ur time,energy n emotions in those ppl who dnt value you.
3.Give priority to self n family.
4.Focus on your career.
Fulfill your dreams.
Make your life.
Live your life to fullest
Divert n absorb ur mind
Stay busy…
5.Do things you love to do.
6.Try out new n interesting things
Meet new ppl
Try to go to places where you feel you can come across like-minded ppl…
Friendship with like-minded ppl goes long way.
Try joining some classes once covid situation improves a little.
Anything like yoga classes,computer classes ,any art classes etc…
You may join some NGO if that fascinates you
U can volunteer for activities of NGO…
generally there you have chances to meet similiar ppl…
7.Most imp-PLS STOP EXPECTING ANYTHING FROM ANYONE…
8.Interact freely with ppl who make you feel comfortable n at ease.
9.Just dnt put any sort of pressure on yourself.
10.Listen to your heart.

Good luck.
God bless you
More power n strength to you.
Take care.

Anjali @vegetarian

Try to connect with people who have similar problems like yours so its easier to make friends.
Easier to find those solutions with them also they lie in you :)

Anjali @vegetarian

yeah !!😊😊😊

@sunnierside

This is overwhelmingly relatable so I will try to be careful with my advice. It is pretty much where I was. The only thing that is different now with my life is that I’m trying to build a career that enables me to work remotely, without much direct contact with people.

For me, this isn’t too depressing. I thrive when I’m by myself, in the company of a few people I’m really close to in life and virtually meeting everyone else. However, this could be triggering sometimes. I can’t just dial someone and start talking. I only have one or two people or sometimes not even that if they’re busy or something. But I’m still learning and I hope to find ways to build more connections as I go. Know that as long as you can talk, share any place safe or with anyone, even if it’s in spaces like this- it’s good.

But since you say you go to college every day I really think you should step out of your comfort zone (I know how crazy hard that is but once you do it you’ll be more proud of yourself, more confident) and start talking to people. Don’t aim to make friends. It’ll happen on its own. Just talk, interact.

Even though we’re introverts & like to keep to ourselves more- it’s good to have people to talk to/meet regularly even if it’ll only be for that phase in life. I did too when I went to college.

And take it from me. It’ll be okay. Always find communities or even tiny groups to be a part of. These days finding one online is much easier. And for physical interaction- I read this somewhere- Go to a coffee shop, library, restaurant anywhere nearby on a regular basis. People there will notice you, remember you and if you’re okay- you can have a chat or two. That right there is your little sense of belonging. It helps a lot.

Anjali @vegetarian

but the problem is that I don’t go to college everyday . Its all online…until 6 months more

@sunnierside

You can still meet & talk to people online. Be part of virtual communities. The key is to show up every day even if it is for a few minutes. Your presence and interaction in those spaces will make an impact for you & others.
