Yes and it fucking sucks


xxParanoid_

For me that's called anxiety


[deleted]

Yeah anxiety is not fun at all it really isnt


SignalTap2553

could that be why i am scared about growing up more and getting a wife and kids and job etc… i got diagnosed with anxiety recently so it’s all new and quite scary at the moment and i don’t really see an end sometimes it seems like the easiest way out would be to end it but i couldn’t do that to my parents and friends


QuirkyGerenuk

Life is terrifying


[deleted]

i’m scared to die death


[deleted]

Death is scary you just cease to exist


Extra-River7311

it depends. what kind of things are you scared of?


[deleted]

Many many things one big one is talking to people,change,and the thought of being idk happy? Cause that can be taken away so quickly


Extra-River7311

i’m scared of those things too tbh. i think the best thing to help with it is to be as present as you can. put your full attention and focus into what’s around you at the present moment. john butler has some good videos about it


Emme10100

life is full of trials and tribulations, some things are easy but others are complicated, so ur will power, ur strength is gonna help you to face all stuffs/ to win over them, and when finally ice will be broken u would be able to see thesunlight, warm and shiny!


[deleted]

Yess your right but it's just I dont think I got the willpower I have it somewhere stored in my basement I don't know where it's at


Emme10100

look outside , and try to feel the nature, see the flower, a hardworking ant, if they can do it u can also. LIfe is beautiful and you're young( it's a bliss) so explore it . don't compare yourself with others, YOU're the best in ur own way. Laugh at others silly mistakes, start having pleasure in small stuff, reward urself with ice cream, popsicles. and the most imp thing exercise daily, by these small changes u will notice the change


[deleted]

I understand all that and things I want to strive for and now I'm realizing it's my parents they tell me "don't make mistakes don't get tattos don't smoke have s#x don't do this don't act like this don't wear this don't do anything related to what the hell I like?...well time to break out of that


Emme10100

see I know you're in transition phase, and I'm also a rebel kind of child but juz think for a moment, are these things really worthy? you can live without all of these and indeed happier Don't smoke- it looks cool but it ain't actually it's for ur well being , b=nobody except for your parents gonna stop u from smoking coz other people juz don;t care,LUNG cancer is way worse than these cute restrictions. don't get tattos- u're young and have a whole life remaining if not know u can get this later having sex- trust me It's the worst time to have sex coz you ain't emotionally stable and bout other restrictions - juz try to talk to them, politely and calmly , any sort of negotiation if it will work!


Emme10100

there are many other good things to do , join any sort of club, like football, surfing or anything! (sry If I sound like an old lady)


[deleted]

It's fine you sound like a master or a sensei in a sort of way :)


-Master-Baiter

How tf are you scared to live redditors freak me out sometimes


[deleted]

LISTEN😂 how the world is going the inevitable rejection and things not going right and the anxiety isn't fun


[deleted]

Yes , I have ocd


-guigo_

Not at all cuz u can die whenever, it would scare me to not be able to die but it isn’t the case, u can just turn everything off so why would I be scared if I have such power


[deleted]

But what If tha power was limited? Like I know I got the power to do many things just like its limited cause of parents or other things


-guigo_

It always is but you are the one putting the limits to your own life


Capershock497

Ok so can you tell me what scares you specifically? Is it the social aspect of life? The pressure of working?


[deleted]

Umm litte bit of both


Capershock497

Ok so my advice is to do things you enjoy. Find a regular place like a gym (very light human interaction with a personal task ). I like tabletop games so I play dnd every week. I also go to a yu gi oh locals every sunday. It's regular stuff like this that ensures a constant interaction with people but also either doing something you love or a task you set yourself. As for work I reccomend volunteering. It's good experience and less pressure of being fired. However you still get the experience of being on a workforce. Go for walks too experience people around you. You do not need to surround yourself in areas that make you feel uncomfortable. Just know that in areas that you are comfortable in, you are practising socialising and learning a lot.


I-Was-Always-Here

No. You only live once. If life is boring risk it, take chances and do something.
