Looking for a friend

[MiST]

Hi everyone,

It's pretty embarassing to admit, but i don't have a single friend in this world, of course i have family but they live a long way away from me and i never really get to see them, i'm pretty much on my own, and well i feel a bit lonely.

I try to make friends, i'm always polite and treat people with respect but for some reason people just don't seem to want to know me. My anxiety makes it hard for me to interact socially and what others find easy i find a real challenge.

I am making progress with my anxiety and working through my problems but some days when i'm alone and it's grey outside i just wish i could have a nice chat with someone, to get out of my own head for a while, ust to have some normailty.

I have a bit of a weird sense of humour so maybe people don't like that?

Anyway, im just putting it out there in case anyone out there feels the same and is looking for a friend, you can check my profile to read a bit more about me if you like.

Please don't mock me or take the p*** because that's not very nice.

I must go and wash my carrots now, but will be back on in a bit..

Thanks for reading, MiST!

Dogs don't like cats...

I'm not sure if that disqualifies us as friends D:

Maybe we could start a cat/dog revoloution? We have been enemies for too long! It's time for peace!

There is hope, my dogs loved mine cats) Mist finding a friend , is a life long project. Our social anxiety does separate us from others. I have one friend left from a huge group of people........... I was a social butterfly and have tons of friends. I gave up. Most people are not making any effort to understand others. Loyalty is something that do not exist anymore............Let's hope you find someone here)

Your so right Dahila, maybe i should contact the crazy cat lady on Youtube, she would be my friend i'm sure of it..

Visualize yourself out being friendly, at the market, or library, or perhaps knocking on a neighbors door and introducing yourself. You can also imagine yourself at work, asking someone if they would like to grab a bite to eat or whatever. Use your imagination as vividly as possible, see every detail, posture, mood, the setting.

These are just examples. The idea behind this 30 minute visualization is to see how you feel during it. Any obstacles psychologically, toward fulfillment, or conflicts that arise into awareness, such as false ideas about relationships, false beliefs or conditioned thoughts will surface through the feeling as words, showing you why you are secluded, so to speak (emotionally and physically). Then you can choose a different idea to hold, rather than the ones that limit your experience.

In simple terms, your false beliefs about yourself and others, life in general will become conscious through the stage play in your mind. Allowing realization perhaps as an epiphany for the first time, the reasons for your anxiety. And also the solutions to problems you have yet to truly face, or that remain unresolved.

You might find the problem belief "my anxiety stops me from having friends, or new experiences", "I am ashamed of myself, and undeserving of friendship, they wont understand me anyhow", or "I deserve to be alone", "if people see the real me they will turn away"

Now, again examples. Its a personal - inner - intimate process one needs to go at alone.

Do this exercise 15-30 minutes a day for 30 days.

** The way toward fulfillment of desires is to remove the mental blockages that stop their manifestation. You cannot fake it, there is no other known way. That's what life is about. Growth and expansion comes from first living the opposite of your dreams (what is termed 'suffering'), through which the desire is then born in you as you grow sick of the current conditions **.

This is not a long drawn out mental game, it could take a matter of moments to find, heal, and release, the beliefs that stand in your way, or the value judgments that create fear. This post of course applies to any reader in a similar position, or that is suppressing an issue because it is too painful, or they believe unable to 'fix'.
