Need a Hug? FREE HUGS!!!
I struggle and get bad anxiety from public speaking. I have a speech I have to do on Monday morning and I am kinda freaking out. I have a lot of fear and stress I'm holding in right now because of this and I'm hoping this will get it off my chest a little, and maybe help me find other people who have had similar problems and who I can talk to on how to get through this. Thanks for any support :)
@smurphyy20 I do a lot of public speaking and there was a time I was very fearful of it. I found that if I practiced, practiced, practiced it felt better when the time came to speak. It was all about preparation. Sometimes I would recite my speech in the mirror to myself. I would walk around the house practicing while I did chores. Just take some deep breaths and remember...even if you do fumble, what is the worse that can happen? Will you lose a limb? No. Die? No. Even our mistakes make us stronger! Good luck Monday! Sending positive vibes
@Sunshinelily Thank You very much. Ill keep reminding myself to keep practicing more now and for future speeches :)
@smurphyy20 Someone suggested to me some years ago that you pick one person out of the audience and you direct your speech to them and only them. It's not always easy to ignore the rest of the audience, but I personally found that it does work.
Best of luck, and I'm sure you'll knock them dead.
*BIG SQUISHY GOOD LUCK HUG!!*
@Turquoisedreamer Thank You :) I'll try to pick out one of my friends and focus on them for my speech

It's just been a really rough junior year of high school for me. First, my mom finally divorced my abusive father, then a couple days later a guy was trying to take advantage of me which ended up with me pressing charges (considering I am a minor and he was 21), then I had a fall out with my siblings, a miserable 16th birthday, a relative passed away, and fights in the family. Now I'm getting irritated with some of my closest friends because they poke fun of me or they don't really listen to me when I talk but they tell me "You need to talk more!" They completely ignore all this progress I have made from overcoming my depression and anxiety and poke fun of me when I say that my crush has helped me a lot.
Sorry for this long rant... I'm just stressed out and don't really have anyone to talk to.
@DauntlessDuck Hey, it's okay. Sometimes you just need to let go, amiright?

I can't stop crying. I can't stop the tears. I can't stop the pain. He came back to me. But he's ignoring me. Why do I always mess up my friendships. Why can't I make a single person happy with me anymore. Why does everybody hate me? Why do they always leave. They always leave.

I just need someone to talk to... And if you can, hug me.
@Amandagdy Hugs and kissis ❤️
@Amandagdy Kisses and hugs for you baby. Be strong, dear.
I feel people make fun of me, and i think is my fault
@Paulinags The reason people make fun of you is because they are bullies and they are mean! They are the one with the problems, not you! You have done nothing wrong and do not deserve this. Stay strong my friend, you are beautiful!! BIG TIGHT HUGS TO YOU <3
@Paulinags People can make fun of you as they want but you are stronger than you thought. People make fun of you because they can't deal with themselves.
I'm not a hugger at all. I actually shy away from personal contact be it family or friends, but for some reason tonight I wish I was getting a hug from my mom who passed over 22 years ago. She had the best hugs.
@Beezy0101 I lost my mom around the same time.
@MarcMarc123 it kinda sucks, doesn't it? Can I give you a hug?
I don't really have an escape anymore. Not motivated to draw, write, or compose music any more which used to help a lot. Depression's just taken away what used to be fun for me.
@13Jace13
Just have faith in yourself.
A big COZY LOVELY WARM HUG IS COMING ヽ( ▽｀)/
and I guess you're a pretty cool person.
Xoxo, Hope my HUGS make you feel better.
*HOLDING YOU TIGHT*
I hate being so shy, people are nice to me but they don't see me as a friend. I wish I could be more outgoing :( I hate it
@Miaaaa00 here's a hug❤ have a good day
My bed friend since 4th grade is slowly drifting away and I don't know what to do. I feel so alone
