Does anyone else find it ironic that in order to combat your crippling social anxiety you need to do (as first step even) what makes you cry in a corner?

Yeah, thats right, i have a appointment with a psychologist in a few hours. I need to leave the house and use the public traffic. Alone.
How am i supposed to do this? Im fucking shitting my pants at the thought already. T_T

I havent even left the house alone since a few years... Not to mention public traffic, be it alone or not.

I sorta know how that is. Altho for me, I am more relaxed if I am going out with friends, but as soon as I go out alone I start to feel like I'm having a panic attack.

A few months ago, I so much as had to walk down one part of the mall to get to my friend that was waiting for me and I almost had to call her to come to me because each step I took made me more and more anxious.

I think I have a similar problem I think with anxiety, I can't go outside without a hood and sunglasses because I'm really self conscious about my hair and my eyes will tear up with sunglasses. I don't have any good tips or anything but I wish you good luck ;)

You guys literally spend hours upon hours on stuff that teaches you how to deal with these kinds of problems. You play and watch dozens of games that teach you not to be fearless, but to be courageous; to take on your fears for your own sake and come out at the end of the day a better person. They've taught and proved to me that life isn't as beautiful otherwise.

So I don't know what kind of troubling past you've had to give you such an insecurity, but I can assure you there's nothing to worry about except for stagnation. So take that first step and go talk to your shrink; it was probably all part of his/her keikaku anyway.

If it isn't, well you just took a big leap ahead so you can pat yourself on the back once you get to that office.

You're right, I should play more games and watch more anime until it gives me courage.

I have no idea how well i perform alone, if im not alone i can handle a few people (its uncomfortable though) but any more than that and i kinda go "Shut down everything" ie, grab my friends hand and concentrate on that only, ignoring everthing else.

Thanks.
Its not that im consicous about my looks, im afraid of pulling attention on me, example situation would be that the bus driver didnt understand what i said and asks again, so that i stall the line or plain simply dropping something or stumbling when walking past people. I dont like being spoken to/speaking to someone either.

Well, the games kind of dont apply here, im spending my time clicking on circles, catching fruits and placing/breaking blocks. Oh and of course being rude and cynical on various forums.
But i get your point.

Still, its not the same, i cant just load a older save or am strong/cool/whatever in real life.

In any case thanks for your support.

I often become wary of judgement when in direct contact with strangers, such as making a transaction or asking directions, mainly due to my ethnic background. Due to the discrimination I've experienced in the past I feel the moment I approach a stranger and converse with them that they're judging me by my race and I know it makes me no better than them to think that way.

The ability develops from experience, if you spend time outside on a regular basis you will become accustomed to it and mildly complacent. Mild complacency is still better than paranoia, it's good for your mental health.

Depends on where you live.

IT'S NOT IN GERMANY I SWEAR MOST OF US LEARNED OUR LESSON AND WE ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE IN EUROPE LEANING MORE AN MORE RIGHT PLEASE DON'T INVADE US AGAIN *cowers in corner in fetal position*

Really? What are examples of rasicm you have expierienced? I'd understand a little maybe if you were middle eastern, since there are a lot of people pissed about things like schools banning people from saying 'merry christmas' because of muslims, and stuff like that, but I can't understand why there would be any racist attitudes towards Indians.
I haven't seen any examples of racism, maybe it's more prominent of the mainland or I'm just unaware.

You're Tasmanian? If so, fistbump.

But it would also explain why you don't know about the racism prevalent in Australian society.
Vish024
I don't enjoy going into detail about my experiences with bigots, it'll just result in a TL;DR situation. In short, I've experienced it from primary school all the way to working in an adult environment.

I don't know what things are like in Tasmania, I've heard it's pretty nice down there actually, but in major metropolitan areas on the mainland it's not uncommon.

there are racist attitudes towards indians because idiots assume we're arabs and these happen to be the same idiots who think arabs are terrorist supporters. if you want an analogy, it would be like if i went to Germany and started calling everyone baguette-with-snail-sauce-eating faggots who can't win wars.

alternatively, people will have racist attitudes towards anyone whose culture or appearance is significantly different than their own.
Granger
Im fairly sure nazigermany could have won the war if Hitler wasnt stupid to attack all the lands at once instead of taking them one by one... Attacking russia like that wasnt smart either. But thats besides the point.

I think the problem with racism isnt racism in itself but rather the intolerance to "different", i mean the etact same situation (except not with "races") happens within different culture/social/interrest-circles and so on.
I find it really sad that its like this.

Also update on the psychotherapist if anyone cares: Thankfully i ended up being driven there by my mother but the psychotherapist essentially told me the same as LaVolpe said earlier: Go outside.

Requiring facebook... are they serious?
piruchan
They use it for assignments and stuff. I personally prefer forums instead of facebook, but many Indonesian internet users (that I have met) have no idea how to use forums. It seems like using codes like
[img][/img]
to post an image is a hassle for them.
Granger
But but... thats like the easiest thing ever? I mean those even got buttons to put those automatically, or if you want so you can code/confrigure your forumsoftware to automatically convert any *png *jpg and *gif urls into images so your users dont even have to press a measly button.
This universitys IT team/person seems incompetent (actually i have yet to find anyone working for school IT to be truly competent) or nonexistant if thats true.

On the bright side you probably dont have to deal with a filter/school-proxy.

Fun fact:

Some teachers, or professors here actually make their students do projects and make them post it on facebook and they will base the grade of that particular activity on the number of likes they get on that post, e.g. the people with the most likes gets the highest grade.
I'm not sure if it's a thing in other countries, but it is here.
Kinda ridiculous right? Basing the grades on popularity and how many people you beg for likes, god this place is full of attention whores. The education system and the way most people think is so fucked up.

Well maybe but if you need to vent then go ahead. There's no real point in talking about it (when is there, really) and you can pretty much sum it up easily but that doesn't mean don't.

Plus OT's been pretty dull lately so some discussion would be nice. It's much better than just posting "Good morning", that's for sure.
Granger
I agree with Brian.
Also, maybe im just ignorant but i havent heard anything involving japanese rythm games, what happened?
kisata
all the iidx maps got canned in a manner similar to what happened to skrillex

konami dmca'd them and so you can no longer download the maps from the website nor can anymore iidx songs be ranked apparently
Granger
Ew.

Why do they care? I mean it isnt like anyone (or just a very minor portion) in the US/EU would actually buy the songs. Should be threated like with anime fan subs, where no seller theres no complainer (I need a better word...).

Brb, researching that stuff with those songs in mind before i spout bull. Last time i didnt do this i claimed something completly wrong...
kisata
It's hard to say. Dunno. For a long time, konami did have a presence in Western countries through DDR and the likes, but yeah most of their business is confined to Eastern Asia. osu! is a global community though, and it is their copyright so it's all within their power to do so. Not that it helps much......

It's just really frustrating to think that all those iidx maps myself and other have made - we can't really do much else with them now. I don't regret making them, and I assume most other people feel similarly but it's just sad to all of us now that we can't move them forward. Like it or not, the main way to get people to play and enjoy your maps is by ranking them. I still enjoy all of them for sure, but it makes me a bit sad that even more people probably won't ever have a chance to enjoy them either now.
Granger
Google fails me, cant find anything of use or any news/sources with "IIDX DMCA", "Buying IIDX songs US/EU" or "IIDX copyright".

Konami produces and sells a fair bit of action/rpg games in the western countries but i dont know anything about rythm games from Konami.
Global community... fair enough. Not entirely sure how thats defined in a legal way but i can understand peppy not taking any risiks. (except that this file and song sharing here is pretty much glorified pirating. Heh.)

I assume peppy could get around that with a torrent based sharing system but then unpopular songs suffer even more.
dNextGen
well, that's capitalism for you

anyway there are loads of better electronic-kawaii music out there aside from IIDX stuff,

but ill be sad if something like Himiko map / Shounen A got eradicated from the game aswell ;~;

it basically killed the entire 9th season, and then that ending. it's just there to "please everyone". and that whole "and then she got sick" BS. that was so annoying. it's the japanese crying formula all over again. i just can't stand that kind of thing. there is a lot of clumsy writing and clumsy decisions and they could've done that so much better. oh well, it remains a great series aside from the ending.

I didn't find it confusing, although when I watched Deathnote I did find that more confusing. Obviously if you watch something without understanding it, and then read a dry factual definition of what you saw later, that's not going to have the same effect.

Me too, I was not expecting it to be anything like it turned out to be. Though I didn't find the end to be cheesy at all IMO- by the end I was feeling really sympathetic for all the magic girls who died with sad ends. And instead of some unrealistic happy ending or bad ending, the MC sacrificed herself and managed to save everyone. Really touching, a perfect and amazing ending.

I liked it because it didn't fall into and cliches, people died and stayed dead, and the protagonists didn't miraculously defeat opponents who were obviously way stronger than them with sudden emotional outburst. And it didn't drag on any longer than i needed to. So IMO, i was a masterpiece, 10/10.

The whole ascending to godhood thing was cheesy, and she didnt save anyone, she wished for the witches to be gone - which was granted, but they were replaced with something equal if not worse. Which is fine really, but i would have liked it to be done without all the cheese.

Tbh, id have prefered a bad end.

I agree with your other points though.
