IntuitiveEast Introduction
Hello Everyone!
My username is IntuitiveEast; people on here typically refer to me as East. I am here because I get down on myself a lot and have a lot of mental issues and trauma. It has gotten to the point where I don't want to open myself up to people in person at all anymore, and I can barely want to open myself up online. If you would like to know how bad it has gotten, I had a friend at school last year who I grew to trust just for me to be wondering if he's even my friend anymore.
I tend to get very attached to people who actually care about me, and this makes them run away. Essentially, my life is usually the "I meet someone, we talk, I get attached, they leave" meme.
I'm on here because I just don't know what to do anymore. I have experienced too much, and all I do is push people away, leading to me constantly feeling like a burden on everyone.
Thanks for reading,
East

give it time! :)
Hey East, you’re doing amazing by just being here and the fact that you can acknowledge yourself is amazing! Just wanted to hi, I’m new here :) Im here to listen if you’d like to chat!
Hi Judy!
Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me! I just don't feel like I can say anything right anymore. Most of my friends are long distance, so it's hard enough-let alone the fact that I don't know if people at school are actually my friends anymore; due to that, online and long distance are my main options right now for building and maintaining friendships. It doesn't help that I am becoming worse and worse in social scenarios.
The good news is I am seeking therapy, but the bad news is it's not for about a month....so here I am.
Thanks so much again for being here and reaching out!

Would you consider yourself to be an introvert? Having meaningful relationships shouldn’t be difficult, maybe you just need to meet like minded people! Cus I can totally be awful in social scenarios with people I don’t vibe with. And that could just be who you are and there is nothing wrong with that! I want to give you a virtual big hug! I think your amazing for seeking therapy. I know I have and it has made a huge difference in my life. Simple exercises I was taught that I never thought would make a huge difference. I hope the month goes by fast and you have this community here to support you anytime you need to talk in the meantime :)
