i am having trouble making friends at a new school--have always been shy and i just can't seem to make connections w/ ppl unless i'm on a team or in a group with them...

nope worked 8:45a- 11:15p

Yes, but it didn't work as planned. I exercised today and everything I needed to get done got done. This all left me feeling accomplished but I still can't shake my anxious feelings. I made plans for tomorrow with a good friend I haven't seen in a long time because of worsening anxiety (mostly social anxiety). So you guys can guess why I'm stressed. I know that he would never judge me, it doesn't matter anyway what others think, and the moment when we get together we'll be laughing and laughing, etc. etc...but I still have that feeling where I wish I could just go see him now instead of waiting a day- thinking about nothing but it. And instead of being excited I just feel anxious. UGH

Hosted pasta party for cross country team--caused me some anxiety at first, but now I'm excited to hang out with everyone!

I'm also going to be more social, I can't ignore my friends. Sometimes it feels like I do it on purpose, but I just get so busy with work and DOC's appointments. No more excuses!!

I didn't spend more time with my friends today but that is my goal.

Success.. I went out visiting with ppl today. It was nice.

By mrndcmch on September 18, 2009 at 09:05 PM

But I did spend time w/ my parents and roomate. I suppose that almost counts.

By mrndcmch on September 16, 2009 at 05:41 PM

I didn't spend time w/ them today, but I did txt. So I guess that's a start.

By Trixiegrrr on September 15, 2009 at 09:04 AM

Need to put more effort into spending time with my friends. I have been so isolated lately... nothing but sleep, eat and work. It's depressing


By Troqnovo on August 24, 2009 at 02:22 AM

I have absolutely the same lifestyle. Then I feel depressing because of that. I should blame myself not others. I am isolate too.

By sweetmel311 on August 20, 2009 at 07:23 PM

Meeting up with law school friend tomorrow after work, hopefully I don't end up working til 9 like I did yesterday!

I saw my friends for a few hours at a school event this morning, and they made me realize that my boyfriend has been keeping me from them. I'm planning on spending A LOT more time with my friends because they really do mean the world to me, and I hate distancing myself from them. I just feel so bad that I let this go on for over 2 months and didn't really notice it until now...

Eh, sometimes you get tied up in the newness of relationships. Kind of like in grade school when you have a "new" best friend. As long as he's not being abusive or controlling about it ("You can't see Mary; I don't like her"), they will understand ;)

By Indy_Z on August 17, 2009 at 07:38 AM

We talked at work and text each other. So I guess I did spend time with them.

By jhersh on August 15, 2009 at 01:43 AM

Yes!
