How are you doing on family gatherings? I'm just mute and response with few words or yes/no if I am being asked. It's really detrimental for my self image. I'm a grown man. It's really embarrassing interrupting them with my blocks. That sudden silence. Their faces also. Pain.

Sorry, I missed this! If it’s helpful, I think it is helpful to allow yourself to be bothered, but for the right reason. It’s natural to be frustrated - embrace it! However, I would let the frustratio...

I find the opposite of this! When I have a good joke or comment that I wanna say so badly cuz it's really funny or clever and I want a reaction, I get so much anxiety knowing that I'll probably say "...

In high school I wouldve taken a pity smile any day instead of getting bullied & fighting countless times. All I got was injuries, suspentions & a sub par education because of it. Be glad peop...
