I've always been sensitive, which made being largely ignored in a full house even worse. I used to get hurt feelings far easier than I should, which fortunately is no longer an issue. The funny thing is, now I have an 8 year old son (well, step-son) who cries about everything and I think to myself.....

I've never really felt like one of them. Without my mom, I'd probably have ran away. I always felt isolated and lost in a busy house of 6 kids. So it was not difficult to move away from them, because I didn't have any attachment.

This is called imposter syndrome. I just did a quick search and there are tests you can take plus a TED talk, as well as scholarly articles. So that's an actual thing? Like...It's common enough to be a diagnosed syndrome? Wow. Oh, and I try to only use positive language about myself, but that tends...

When I first dabbled in hypnotic induction sessions, I was highly suggestible. I even had the tingles in my arm, and really felt like it was either too heavy to move, or light enough to lift on its own, depending on the instructions of the hypnotherapist. It really worked for me. Now, not so much. I...

Hello. My name is Adam. Currently living in central Illinois in the USA. My interest in hypnosis is to break through psychological blocks and reprogram my subconscious to stop letting me sabotage myself and let worry and insecurity ru(i)n my life. I wish I could find a local hypnotherapist. They wer...

I've had DP/DR for years, without any chemicals or drugs. I can't stand it. I feel like I'll wake up at any moment and realize this has all been a dream. I still feel like I'm watching someone live my life, and not living it myself. It's been over 10 years like this.

Ok, so I have a rather irrational anxiety I have been trying to eliminate for years. That is that I'll be exposed as being a fraud, like I'm not who I say I am, that I'm trying to pull a fast one on people. I don't really understand this at all. It may stem back to when I really struggled with my ow...

That's great for you. When I smoked, it was super easy not to. All I had to do was...not smoke. I was never addicted to it, even when I used it every day for months at a time. It was always a decision, never a compulsion. Someone says "Wanna smoke?" and I would say yes or no. Yeah, for me ...

Fixed it for you.

I was quiet too, and people did not constantly ask me if I'm ok. There is more going on than you are telling, or you simply don't see the energy you're radiating to those around you. If you are always moping, slouching, looking unhappy...what do you expect? It's not just being quiet. The only time b...

Most people don't consider the reasonability of their expectations. They just expect more than they get, and assume everyone is on the same page without saying a word.

If she is truly a lesbian, she is not interested in men. That is how it goes. I also find it rather odd that she just introduced herself as a lesbian, which makes me wonder if she was just instantly friend-zoning you and is not truly a lesbian. I also find it odd that you decided to ask the question...
