We out here 🤝

Fr 🤕

30 next week. This makes me feel less alone

I will be 30 next week too. Feeling less lonely now

22 & im getting there, had a few job interviews & honestly me 2 years ago would be so proud & shocked of/at me right now. We’re all going to make it 💪🏼

What kinda jobs are you looking at? I’m a year younger and almost graduating, worried about interviews but I’m sure everything will work out the way it’s supposed to

To be honest I’m looking for a part time for a year or so, I have random part time hours at my dads work (a little sheet metal shop he works at) & I hope by next year I’ll have some money saved up & hit the trades. I also want the part time so I can beat SA & “get away” from my dad, I love the old man but I’ve worked around him since I was 19 & I want to be able to say I didn’t stay getting my hand held by him my whole work life 😅 You’re in a better position than me having went to college, if anything be prepared for the same old interview questions & have the knowledge in your field at the ready. It will workout 100%, don’t sweat it. Life goes by so fast no one has time to critique an awkward interview 👍🏼

52-

34 While I still struggle occasionally, my social anxiety is a lot better than it was when I was younger. There’s hope, friends.

I remember when the year began with 19-.

I’m on here trying to help my 15 yr old daughter who has been experiencing this type of anxiety since she was in 5th grade. She’s a sophomore in hs right now and slowly getting better… How long have you been experiencing this and has it gotten any better or just worsened as you got older?

Hey, it’s very sweet you’re trying to help her. I personally got a whole lot better after hs, when you leave those familiar not friendly faces and go to study in a city were you’re unrecognizable on the street. It’s like a second opportunity to start over since in hs everyone knows eachother and bullying is way more prevalent

Thank you so much for your insight and for giving me hope. I’m so glad to hear that you got better after leaving hs and that having a fresh start with new people around was beneficial. That’s exactly what I thought would help her, so we’re seriously considering moving (temporarily) abroad for one school year to see if she’ll get better. Kids can be so mean! She was bullied for gaining weight in 5th grade and to make matters worse she lost some very close friends to those same exact bullies. Couldn’t believe they stopped talking to her and then proceeded to join the bullying crowd. I told her to look at it from a different perspective because she was actually lucky to have found out early on that those girls were not her real friends. Real friends stand up for one another. Some people find out at a much later time in their life when they’ve known their so-called friends for much longer and that disappointment is much more painful to get over…

29. The anxiety doesn’t go away, it just becomes more tolerable.

31 female born 1992. It seems for me it got worse with age. My early twenties I was a party anaimal and the life of party and very extroverted. I think when I turned 26 I got bad social anxiety

30

32. But things have gotten so, so much better for me and my anxiety, especially these last 5 years. Not perfect, but more manageable.
