Hey I've seen a lot of posts about anxiety, so here's another one, because I'm slowly but surely becoming hooked on these forum things.
I'm too lazy to write it up again, so I'll just post a rant to a friend that already happened... bless him for listening to this shit, lol. I also think this rant is probably a lot funnier than whatever I could write up here.
Me: my bro has no empathy Friend: eh? Me: im googling how to deal with peeps who have no empathy Friend: hahahahahaha Me: but it's like all these articles were written by people with no experience with anxiety, addressing people who are complete pussies. Like this is so unhelpful: "ignore them" "walk away" like... this is not a long term solution. infact it's not a solution at all really it's just dismissive Friend: ^ Me: like I realize I probably represent a minority of people who have anxiety disorders but are naturally full of attitude and are more able to solve shit, but that doesnt mean others dont exist. Like, surely google can be more helpful. imo the best solution is to drop kick his ass off the balcony but I realize that may lead to legal issues. This one says "stop caring what others think" like... if someone thinks it's okay to abandon me in the middle of a large crowd, I should be concerned, frankly. Like i've had it with human beings. They are generally the most useless. Why do people insist on being so unhelpful? Everything he says to me is better left unsaid... like "you have nothing to do all day". Except you know, work on anxiety. Like I do every day. All the time. Friend: i guess he thinks youre over dramatic? Me: whatever he thinks is extremely stupid and he isnt bothering to inform himself... instead he makes wild assumptions and stupid decisions based on those assumptions. If he just stayed out of my way, things would go a lot better. But no. He insists. Friend: Just fap it out yo Me: That isn't a solution either Friend: I usually fap out my problems Me: Well that is the equivilant to ignoring them or just walking away really Friend: haha, naw. My problems are emotional. Me: Um aren't everyones problems emotional? Friend: Yup! Me: Well, how do emotion Friend: Gatta find that out yourself! Okay I've been naked for like 3 hours, time to do laundry. Me: WHY U DO DIS Friend: naked? Me: halp Friend: uh, you have a boyfriend, he can help you Me: no he mostly just listens... which is helpful but not actually a solution either Friend: tell him to just take your shirt off for you then? I mean taking off clothes.. Me: there was a time when you were helpful ): < Friend: comes pretty natural.. listening = not taking off your partners clothes. ill make some flash cards on how to take off your shirt for you later. you can study them Me: dammit man. should I just make my bro a pizza? I made one yesterday... Friend: pizza helps everything Me: still not a solution.
