I totally see what you mean. I can not begin to tell you what a huge part music has played in my life. It might seem silly, but hearing someone else express exactly what you feel in an emotional way...

Don't know about any mods, but the forum seems to be pretty active and there's a lot of information and advice being posted daily.

This guy makes a huge point on how you can move forward in life if you can just lose your fear of this world. I've been following him on Youtube for about a year now and I have benefited greatly from...

Magic ones?

Why did you make your way to the bedroom? Why did you take off your clothes? (I'm not trying to be funny.) Congratulations on having what sounds like an awesome girlfriend. Just take it slow and try...

Do you have a job? Most adults make friends at work.

Another great book on this topic that might help you is The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. You can also find great stuff by both him and Eckhart Tolle on Youtube. Sorry for not being able to...

Biggest phobia: Public speaking. No doubt.

Yes, you have some form of social phobia, and the good news is, there's a cure!! Not a generic solution that works for everyone - the cure has to be tailored for each person. Start digging in to...

Have you sought help for this? Remember that you are not the only or first one feeling like this, and many have been cured. There's help out there you just need to be strong enough to seek it....

"Everytime I think I'm out, they pull me back in!". Setbacks are normal, and the fact that you identify it as a setback is a healthy sign. Sharing it here with others is even healthier. Yes, I have...

You need to build yourself up from the inside. Even if everyone actually IS judging (which they're not) then so what? You need to detach yourself from that feeling. Let them judge if that makes them...

You need to face your fears in order to overcome them. There are no shortcuts here. But it has to be done with baby steps. Like someone mentioned earlier here, panic attacks can occur if you reach...

Some of those ugly disorders are surprisingly beautiful. :)

I've always had trouble falling asleep, but have now started to meditate myself to sleep, and it works!
