Thread: Was out tonight....

  1. #1

    Was out tonight....

    Was wondering if it is just me. I was out tonight for my brothers birthday and me him his fiance and a couple of other friends went to a nice Italian restaurant on the west end of Glasgow ( lovely area). I start off happy and upbeat although all the time fighting off my phobia and anxiety as i had to be there for my bros bday. But as the night goes on i get sadder and sadder to the point i am depressed and literally have to fight back tears as not to embarrass myself. I am home now and find myself to be very down and sad and i don't know why. I do feel really lonely and don't really have anyone i can talk to especially at this moment as everyone is busy. I think i feel this way as when i am out i wish to be like the others who are out, the kind of people who have say there wifes gfs kids and a genuine happy life. Am i the only one who feels/gets this way ?

    Lonliness is a pig, but also sometimes when we are feeling down or anxious you can feel lonely In a crowd, at least you make the effort to go out, maybe you could meet up with members from the site in your area

    Hi
    Everyone else might look like they're having a ball,but scratch the surface,and you'd soon find out that not the case.
    I don't mean they're not enjoying themselves,but they'll all have their own problems and hang ups,you can be sure of that.
    Its just the way you're feeling at the moment.
    You're going out and being with people,that's great,meet as many as you can,even chat to the person that serve's you in a shop,or on the bus,whatever,things happen when we least expect them,including good new things,or ways of looking at situations.
    You're a nice,sensitive,caring person.
    Give it time and space.
    Good luck.

    Its awful anxiety it takes away your confidence it stops you going out to met friends to socialise and before you no it your sat at home no friends and frightened to go out dam anxiety it takes so much away from us we all need to kick its arse xx

    Hi there. You're not alone. I also suffer with social anxiety and as a result have lost contact with all my friends. I rarely go out and when I do it has to be somewhere familiar and only with immediate family. I'm 35 and it bothers me too that I can't be like all those other people who seem so carefree when they're out socialising with friends.
