I'm confused with myself. With some people, I can talk to them easily and I can joke around and all that. I'm almost a different person when I'm around some other persons. But I feel like it doesn't get me anywhere. It's the same process everyday.

And then the people I really want to talk to, I can't. I get so nervous and my stomach drops. I just think of the worst scenarios possible, and it's not healthy, and no matter how hard I try, I just have so much trouble with certain human interactions. It just makes me frustrated, sad, and confused.

The only thing I hate about myself is not impregnating my landlord daughter's Amina before I left Lagos...

One of my regrettable moment.

I find it difficult to talk to adults too. Making conversation when I’m with an older person in a room or during a drive or just in a gathering is always difficult for me

yeah.i feel this same sh*t too

Tela101 :

We are facing the same challenges o. I am suffering from the same issue you av stated. But i don't know how to deal with it yet, it has cost me potential girlfriends, or even friends

Alexaonfleek:

I think this problem has to do with certain level of confidence and better exposure when you were still a kid.....


But i usually think that ladies are better equipped at handling interactions bcus they are the ones answering questions instead of asking.(from observation)

ya'all know less... know more and become bold.

I don't understand

Below is what i hate about myself. I need serious help.

#InsideLife

Assuming too much

The thing I hate about myself the most are:

I am easily sympathetic towards people's plight , I tend to overthink, I have serious impostor syndrome and I tend to be highly pessimistic because of life experience. That's all

I can easily have a conversation with and make friends easily with adults. To talk to people my age on the other hand, is difficult.

So u can't address a crowd of senior men?

same here. I feel more comfortable being around older men.

If they’re within my age group, sure!

But addressing considerably older men is usually difficult for me

Lol it’s the opposite for me

I am not alone finally.....


So, brothers and sisters how do we tackle this?

I'm easily sympathetic because I hate to see people around me lacking or suffering.

I'm too expressive and I want to start reducing that. I want to be a bit taciturn

Lastly, I'm a very generous person but I really don't know if I should call it my weakness

Same here

My number one problem is talking too much

Nothing. i love me so so so much

I care alot too much for others.

I displease myself to please others..

I tend to act like a good person in order not to be labeled bad...

I hate the fact that I can't stand my ground and tell people NO even when I know that I can't provide for that at the moment....


I can't open to the people I love, gently telling them how their behaviour sucks except when they push me to the wall...

Madddd

Pessimism and overthinking things even on normal situation, assuming things wrongly, not able to speak in public trying to kill that shit
