That's me. I understand that completely. |

My college has Therepy session for free for students so I'm not paying a dime for it. |

| I recently started going to therapy for depression/loneliness/anxiety. I've had one session so far and have another one scheduled in 2 weeks. How long will it take until I start seeing results? I've never done anything like this before so I have no idea. Also, is there anything else that I should kn... |

| I can't tell you what will work for you, but I can tell you what worked for me. I had zero confidence for the longest time, and didn't realize that was the reason why I failed at pretty much everything. Everyone called me ugly in school. When I was a kid, I accepted it as fact and was mostly OK wit... |

| I prefer having very few interests, as my mind cannot stop racing as it is right now. If I were to have more I don't think I can handle it. Video games, science fiction, history and music are enough for me (which is good, because 4 is my favorite number) A lot of Aspies seem to have video games as ... |

| Yes, I can never believe that people really like me. I just think that they tolerate me and feel like the have to be around me because they pity me. The anxiety has killed any chance I have of a love life as well because if I meet a man I like I think that there is no way someone that nice would li... |

| I feel like I could make friends and establish meaningful relationships if I wasn't so anxious about talking to people. Even people I've known for a long time give me bad anxiety sometimes. Sometimes my chest tightens up just thinking about talking to people. (especially girls. :oops: ) As a result ... |

| I don't feel like they are narrow. Interests are pretty much infinite. Mine just are not common. Many find what I have to say somewhat boring, I glaze eyes over all the time. Then I get frustrated and mad at them for not understanding me. I don't really get the regular conversation flow well. Most ... |

We have similar interests, except I don't have girlfriend.  Maybe sooner or later somebody will love me for me. Hopefully sooner rather than later. |

| I've been told before that I'm not cool and boring. People often attribute it to the fact that I'm obsessed with "nerdy" things. I've tried to find a more varied taste in interests and tried to talk to more people but it's very hard. Is it ok to change yourself so people will like you? May... |

Haha. I know right? I've been ranting a lot on this site recently. |
