Listening to Christmas music mostly. Keeps me happy! Have started listening to audio book synopsis of classics like The Catcher In The Rye on sound cloud.

Perhaps I am a loner by nature, but my depression and depressed mood are aggravated by the constant claims(like jokes) from my parents like "You have become a social phobe", "When will you find a girl?"or "In your age I was very active and why are you so shy?". Moreove...

However, they get a job/girlfriend and the routine engulfs them. In messengers, for example, they rarely write to me, and I also don't want to write, because I can't feel the difference between initiative and obsession. I respect that you respect their privacy. But good friendships are about backin...

When I'm not in a relationship, it's not like I'm out trying to "score" I know that's a common thing with men but it's not like that. Truth be told I like kissing over sex, and just the physical aspect of being with and there for that person. Idk but I just do. And when a girl and I hit i...

I have no self esteem, I think very low of myself and I just can't stand myself most of the time. I tend to put those I care about or want to see happy before myself. I go the extra mile all the time and jump thru hoops to make those people happy. This opening bit actually has nothing to with what ...

maybe articles or links that I can read would be great Refer and keep in mind Maslow's triangle of needs . Always fulfill your basic needs. Try to place helping others between basic needs and psychological needs, as there are many means to attain the latter. But that does not mean you should sacrif...

Supposing you have a hungry child of yours at home and have a dollar in your pocket that can satisfy its hunger, bu...

I feel better after a good night's sleep and reflecting on your reply.

Thanks for making an effort to respond.

Happy to hear that!

You shouldn't be worried about it. Honestly. There are thousands out there who'll want to get into your skin, also there are plenty who derive sadistic pleasure out of one's misery. You shouldn't pay heed to what such people say. Especially a random person who has no participation, activity, or plac...

Yes, since smiling/laughing (not fake ones ofc) are considered signs of happiness they do help mental wellbeing. I've found these 2 research papers. The first one is ' Therapeutic Benefits of Laughter in Mental Health: A Theoretical Review '. Found it in the National Library for Medicine website. Al...

A few questions. Do you dislike yourself because of your social persona, or is there some other reason for it? Are you gregarious or you dislike human interaction? Are you an introvert? Do you like to talk to people only when you are not forced off your comfort zone? if the answer to the latter is y...

Hi. I don't know whether you are still looking out, but I'm sure this post will be helpful. The overthinking on future are phases which most of us go through but not many talk about. Either we have overcome the situation and find it unworthy of remembering or are too mentally embroiled in it. On the...
