For the past few months I've been really weird.. Not myself. What I've realized is: -I'm kind of antisocial.. Even with my good friends, whom I trust greatly, I just don't communicate well with them. I feel stupid when I talk, so I just choose to keep quiet. I just stay silent and laugh with them. I hate it so much though, because I want to talk to them and all that, but I just feel stupid, or don't know what to say... I've never been this way before, I could hold conversations for long periods of time with my friends, now it's hopeless. I really don't like this because I feel so out of place. Although, if I'm talking to them on MSN/facebook/text, I'm fine, my normal self. Only happened a few months ago, and the only thing out of the normal that I've done was take lsd, twice, on very low doses, just enough for a mind fuck, no hallucinations. Any suggestions on how to improve on my situation? I really hate being so antisocial and out of place.. Knowing something is wrong with me.. it just sucks. Thanks.
sorry to hear that this is happening I think there is a good chance that you will recover on your own acupuncture might help
It could be that you are perceiving things around you slightly differently. Don't try to fight off the anxiety, examine it. Just sit and let the feeling come. Usually they will disappear if you don't let your thoughts get caught up in the anxiety.
You just summed up how I feel ALL the time, except I have felt this way pretty much all my life. I feel stupid and I can't communicate properly with anyone. It has really interfered with my life. Alcohol and Xanax (not together) is the only thing I have found that helps me to feel "normal" again. I wish I had some advice to help you out in some kind of way, but I am in the same boat as you.
This happened to me a while back, and all I know is that you just have to start talking again, even if it sucks or you feel like you're stupid. If nothing's changed except for the fact that you took lsd a few times, then chances are this isn't an actual stupidity thing, it's a self esteem issue. If they've been your friends for a long time, talk to them about the situation... if they are real friends, they will understand. You just need to stretch your boundaries, and the rest of it will follow through. At least, this is what helped me. Also, I'm not saying this situation isn't difficult... you just need time and a little self love.
Why do you feel there's something wrong with you? It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with you. If you really want to say more and be more of a speaker, start by learning some interesting trivia or good jokes to get a conversation going with you in control, then take it from there. Self actualisation, my friend. Google it.
I hear ya dude I feel the exact same way, like everything there is to be said has already been said and that I have nothing exciting going on in my life at all so there isn't really anything to talk about
maybe its some kind of chemical imbalance in our brains? i'm the same way some days and fine others...
because whenever you see an ad on tv about a drug that corrects a chemical imbalance in the brain...it's bullshit. they have zero scientific evidence for that. i guess it's partly my opinion though
Positive thinking is quite dangerous. Postive thinking doesnt pervent negative outcome. I might of stated the obvious but most people dont think of it like that and once their continueus with that thinking they can become quite delusional.
It sounds like social anxiety/ being self conscious. I can relate, I think I sound stupid in my tone, or I'm not pronouncing words right exc... maybe my mannerisms look foolish. Stop to think, well how many times have I looked at someone and thought they looked/ acted silly and blew it off, or not even care? same concept here, most people unless they are total assholes aren't judging you on every single sound and movement that comes out of your mouth or off your body. don't worry about it, as long as you aren't screaming obsenities in social circles or smacking random people uncontrollably, whats the big deal? we all look silly sometimes.
