Sufferer Searching the internet nobody special new to this community

[darklightkoneko]

Hello, my name is Hikari I'm new around here. I joined this community to see where it takes me to meet other individual's as myself, getting advice, sharing thoughts and feelings and maybe learn to face my fear of talking to people. I tend to stay to myself more and only talk when I feel I comfortable, I'm really nobody special and I suffer with: C-PTSD, Bipolar (not the severe one), GAD, Social Anxiety, Insomnia, Chronic Nightmares and etc. I don't share too much information about myself only if I truly want too I will, Trust is big with me. I'm a homebody, introvert, loner and sometimes do show too much emotion. I am alone mainly with just my family support, other than that I'm content with my life. That's all I like to share thank you for listening.

Welcome to the forum - hope this place helps you feel a bit more connected somewhere. Loneliness is shit.

Reminded me to restock my “Introverts are awesome” keyring!

hello hikari. welcome to the forum. i am another who does not like to share much information about myself, not even if i know and trust you completely. thanks to decades of psychotherapy, that is no longer because i feel like a nobody. even without the wounded self-esteem, i still like doing more than i like talking. in conversation, i seldom learn a thing talking about myself. i usually learn more by listening and i do love learning.

that said, we get to those pesky nightmares, etc. that would be a time where i can learn more by talking about myself. safe places like this one, coupled with the anonymity which is customary in forums like this one, i can often sort through the psycho snot knots far enough to remedy the symptoms, such as social anxiety, etc. i still don't like talking about myself, but it beats the unholies out of the psych symptoms wreaking havoc on my life. the gain is worth the pain.

Hi @darklightkoneko welcome to the site . I used to really fear talking to people aswell.

@AngelKeeperJ Thank you for welcoming me here.

@Survivor3 Thank you for welcoming me here, I appreciate it. I can talk to people though it's still hard to trust so easily like most folks do or seem open. My trauma is also online from people hurting me in all sorts of ways. So, in person and online there isn't really a place I feel full peace or safe really. I am trying though and from my first relationship I had now gone, I really learned a lot about myself. On how I'm braver now and I can really speak my mind, so I'm not so afraid anymore to talk to others when I'm ready.
