I hate them so much, I hate having contact with them, having to pretend I'm happy and that I like them. Fuck.
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

You don't need to pretend to like them or pretend to be happy. People usually find out easily that you don't actually like them or that you are just pretending to be happy. There is nothing to do than to accept your downfall and live with it or... you know.I hate them so much, I hate having contact with them, having to pretend I'm happy and that I like them. Fuck.
This is a good way to put it. The part I really hate is just all the pretending I have to do. I feel compelled to hide how dysfunctional I really am.I like people, but being around them is hard and very unpleasant.
This! What don't they understand idc that I don't have as much socializing as normal. Socializing makes my ANXIETY BAD. Like ughhPeople can be really exhausting.
I just explained to my therapist for the millionth time how I honestly don't mind social distancing and how the isolation suits me just fine. I do not feel lonely. She's convinced my depression is aggravated by all this, but it's so truly not. I love having an acceptable excuse to not go out and socialize.
Totally agree. The acting can be exhausting and frustrating.This is a good way to put it. The part I really hate is just all the pretending I have to do. I feel compelled to hide how dysfunctional I really am.
YessssSocializing makes my ANXIETY BAD. Like ughh
Very good advice.What about getting a pet?
Animals are often better than people.
Just a thought.
Pretty sure you feel lonely though, but it's hard accepting the fact maybe?People can be really exhausting.

Actually, no. I'm not lonely. If left to my own devices, I won't talk to anyone for days and not even miss it. I can rarely do that, though. I have people who make a point to check on me every day. Anyway, I suffer from too many people wanting my attention, and I really find it exhausting.Pretty sure you feel lonely though, but it's hard accepting the fact maybe?
We are a social animal.
LOL yeah, they say that about sitting, too...We are a social animal.
Being alone is equal to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
Yessss
My therapist also thinks volunteer work would help me. I don't see how, when I can have a panic attack just thinking about having to socialize that much. It's hard enough to face the possibility of running into someone in my building who knows me on my way to check the mail.
Oh yeah, I've had the fresh out of school type. It was painfully obvious she thought she'd picked an easy job. It was awful for both of us. I looked her up one time and stumbled on her Facebook profile. Definitely Girls Gone Wild vibes.Well this is the sort of shit which happens when you have a therapist of vastly inferior intelligence to yourself. Manipulation to get what you want or need is the best way to deal with these idiots.
After I was forced into counseling as a teenager, I manipulated those assholes into getting me transferred away from my hellhole little provincial school, then jerked them around until I obtained my driver's license so I could drop out of daytime school and enroll in a then novel nighttime high school diploma program that allowed me to graduate early.
The best way to deal with the compulsive dishonesty and idiocy of a therapist is by countering with your own dishonesty and manipulations. These cretins selected easy degree so they could spend their college years fucking, drinking and doing drugs. The vast majority of topless females in the "Girls Gone Wild" series were psychology majors, as were the dumb college jocks who were fucking them.
Look for an ugly therapist if you want to find one who might have an iota of competence. If he or she might have been passably attractive when attending college, odds are that you are dealing with a total idiot who got passing grades and graduated by fucking his or her professors and performing oral sex on them. (Please let me know when I have made it clear to you exactly what my experiences with numerous therapists has been.)
Frankly, if a mental health professional is not a prescriber, then the overwhelming odds are that you are dealing with somebody who is completely useless. (Biofeedback clinicians are among the rare exceptions to this very reliable rule.)

I remember in one our last sessions, she told me she had no idea why I felt so bad but recommended I consider looking online for similar people to maybe talk to. If only she knew! LOL
I was one of her first clients and she ended up quitting within a few months.
This one, though... I don't know. I expected more from her. She's older and supposedly has been doing this for a long time. She's strangely out of touch and likes to assume. I guess if all you needed was someone to talk to, she'd be great. I need more.
I wouldn't bother with therapy anymore if I didn't absolutely have to. I can't afford the ones who might actually be qualified, so I'm kind of stuck.
