Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

You have no obligation to respond to anyone. None. This is a bullshit excuse.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Social anxiety doesn't really give you the luxury of deciding when you are and are not expected to interact with people. The fear that you must is always there.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

The fear that you have to respond may be there, but there comes a time, if you actually want to be one of those rare flowers who deal with your anxiety, that you have to sit yourself down and say "this is how I feel, but it's not how it is," and keep fucking repeating it until you can believe it or are so tired of doing it that you move on to other things.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

You sound like one of those enlightened individuals who knows things about things and enjoys telling people how to suck it up and be normal.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

da

Argh, shut up! "Rare flowers", huh? I am pretty sure that everyone with anxiety tries damn hard to "deal with it" (often in an unproductive way - trying to force yourself too much sometimes only makes it worse). Yes, you sometimes you have to just suck it up and do things until you get at least used enough to it that it's not as hard, but I've found that I have to pick my battles. I work hardest on the things that are most vital, and save my energy by letting myself avoid things that are unimportant but will cause a ton of anxiety. And let's be honest, fanfic is not the most important thing most people have going on in their lives.

Bootstraps, bootstraps.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

idek what this means in SJW terms but you just made me think of Pirates of the Caribbean.

"So, we strapped a cannon to Bootstraps' bootstraps--"
"Hehe. Bootstraps' bootstraps."

Re: Not so.

[spacebabie]

That is not how it works. I also have social anxiety however it is not as severe as others here. For me the Internet has helped me make friends and helped me a bit with it...along with therapy and Celexa. I no longer take the pill or in therapy but I have been able to hold jobs and my most recent involves walking up to and speaking to strangers.

Every one who has social anxiety does not have it in the same amount or level. It will be harder for some to get over it and it will be easier for some. Every body is different and everyone needs treatment that would fit them and only them. It is not going to go away because some ass on the Net tells them to stop whining.

Re: Not so.

Rare flowers, huh? I deal with my anxiety all the time; it's a daily, perpetual fight to function. Sometimes I win, and sometimes I lose. But losing the fight sometimes does not mean I or anyone else is not dealing with it. Your definition of "dealing" seems to be "defeating it once and for all". Doesn't work that way. Maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll start to win more fights, maybe one day I'll win enough of them day by day that no one can tell I'm anxious at all. But I'll never actually get to stop fighting.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

da

It's not an "excuse". This is an example of the thought process a person with an anxiety disorder can goes through (and I can attest that I myself would worry about those very same things that the other anon was talking about). You don't choose what to worry about.

Basically, shut the fuck up, you have no idea what it's like to live with severe anxiety.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? You're really going to tell a stranger to shut the fuck up because they don't know what severe anxiety is like? Hey! If you're psychic, care to fill the comm in on next week's lotto numbers?

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I apologize. You're right, I shouldn't have assumed things.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a bullshit excuse, and you know it.

Grats on you for finding a fulfilling career in armchair psychology. But if you actually knew anything about this shit, you'd know that it's not that easy. People like the OP and the person to whom you're replying typically need therapy and meds to be able to move beyond what they're feeling. And flippantly saying, "this is bullshit" and "just tell yourself that that's not how it is" doesn't help. In fact, it usually makes it worse.

But you don't care about that, do you? Because this is the internet, and you're anonymous, so there are no consequences for you being a giant piece of shit. You can be as dickish and ignorant as you feel, and nothing will happen to you. Well, I hope something does. I hope everyone you love realizes that you are a waste of breath and abandons you. I hope that you are fired from your job because your boss realizes that you are incapable of meaningful contribution. I hope that you are either kicked out of your home or are foreclosed upon, either because you can no longer pay or because someone (rightfully) fucks you over in retaliation for what an awful human being you are. I hope that you are driven to contemplate suicide, and that when you express such contemplation, people say to you, "that's bullshit" and "man up and tell yourself that it's not so bad."

umad?

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

ugonnarespondtoacivilreplyinnonmemeform?

No, you aren't. Because that wouldn't flatter your ego.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

I was with you up until you said you wished they would contemplate suicide. Not cool. I know how that is, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, no matter how much of a dick they were.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

So you were okay with allll of the other terrible things. Irrational retribution is fine, as long as it doesn't venture into a sort of suffering that you've personally experienced.

Re: Not so.

[nan]

Wow.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that escalated quickly.

(Also, you are an asshole and a hypocrite :D)

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, you are a piece of work, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Re: Not so.

[spacebabie]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

whoaaaa man I was so with you until that last paragraph. YIKES.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Were you under any obligation to reply to this? No? Calm yo'self, anon.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

While your comment was worded extremely poorly, I think people are overlooking the fact that this is obviously a "walk a mile in my shoes" scenario, and not a deathwish.

Re: Not so.

[(Anonymous)]

Stop making excuses for this person's shitty post.
