    If people are laughing, they are laughing at me...

    This only my experience. I found I project onto others what I feel about myself. It is me that thinks I am deserving of their behavior. Turn it inside out and ask yourself . Is it me that thinks that way about myself? 90 percent of the time it is my fears being projected onto others. I feared...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    OK this is weird. Does anyone believe in deliverance?! I went to a gathering for years where my reaction was social anxiety. I was relaxed wanted to attend and was totally without anxiety yesterday. I was greeted and loved on and people just were warm. Not once did I have a trigger, a sense for...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    BTW I have projected my self rejection onto other people. Whether they felt anything toward me or not. Usually not. Thus, it has kept me fearful almost paranoid about socializing at times. Then when I would leave a situation I would beat myself up going over what I said or what I should have...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    I have had an amazing evening. I came across a talk on self rejection. Aha.. not rejection. We all have rejection and some times to validate self loathing we set up circumstances to perpetuate that rejection. Our communication, our perfectionism, our isolating. All these years I could only...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    I just don’t trust anyone as I can envision being further abused or rejected. It is true what you said. I have a lot of secrets. Nothing for 42 years. It happened so long ago. I can’t make the transition to the life I was given 43 years ago. I keep living back before that. I guess I have to do a...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    Out of nowhere comes the thought of wanting to be done with life. This has happened once when my second child was one week old and I had post partum depression. I have no warning just kind of an anxiety attack. I found my husband making out with another gal when I had to run to the store. They...

    Retraumatize In Therapy

    Just going over everyone’s input. I have learned and practiced CBT skills and it has been helpful for sure. However, I don’t do intimacy well. That makes it easier for me to deal with this.. I have friends and I am warm and they would not know I have intimacy issues. I think I have put off T...

    Retraumatize In Therapy

    No I think it is retraumatization that is taking up time. I have been in a good place for a long time. I then started listening to a doctor on line who has many videos and there I am… back at the beginning. I don’t think I have been suppressing the beginning of the trauma and have worked very...

    Retraumatize In Therapy

    I have been thinking how many times I retraumatize myself.I keep a journal and revisiting the past in my writing makes me anxious, even depressed as I have not yet been able to move on. Is it healthy to retraumatize yourself so often in therapy? Does it keep you stuck and not moving forward with...

    Love the classics. I get my suggestions from a fellow on YouTube. It is calledTristan and the Classics. He educates, give synopsis and gets you to become a huge fan of the classics. Just starting Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. Like many of your authors.

    🤔 Can you ask for clarification on the post and face the fear of being unsafe. You should feel safe at all times on this forum.I think there must be an explanation. It does not have to be contentious. It is how we learn about others and what it is that is making us fear.. something is blocking...

    Don’t throw them out. Cut them up and you will find art in the. Or cut them up for bookmarks. Keep them. Come back and add more. You will be surprised. Oh so sad. What we discard another sees as a treasure. Are you a perfectionist?
