Oh man, I'm happy for you. I know what it's like to overcome intense shyness (though I'm not even nearly 100% over that stuff myself), so that's really good for you! Also good luck for the gaming adventures and more importantly job motivation.Comonculus wrote:
Recently i have been trying to follow my dreams of being a prominent member of the gaming community.
I have been streaming more often, playing more games and focusing on trying to become a competitive league player.
I have also stopped trying to place blame on others in situations while trying to improve. I no longer blame my team, controller game client or lag for me doing bad because the only thing i can really honestly control is how well i do as an individual. I have stopped myself from becoming very angry as well by trying to relax and just have fun when i play game. I've been working to save money as well for future events and have even booked a trip to visit my girlfriend in Canada who i have been with for well over 4 years!
I have become more outgoing, more friendly and kind to others as well.
I used to be a really shy and introverted not really wanting to talk, make friends or do anything but now that i've discovered what i want i have worked on my social skills and learned to make friends even if the worse type of situations or stages in my life. And although i still dislike parts of my job, i deal with and work to better myself and to help provide for the family i live with.
Through the years on the internet while gaming i have met some amazing people and some of the best of friends and i have also lost some good friends as well. This place is amazing and all the great moments I have had and will have i will remember for the rest of my life and i'm glad i could have so many great moments. The people i meet and the friends i make are what motivates me to become a better person and live out my own dreams.
tl;dr
I'm doing what I want and what I love and bettering myself with the help of my friends and people i meet.

The hardest thing for me though is that i'm not entirely happy with my job. In highschool i had some really bad issues when it came to gaming. I skipped a lot of school to play Osu! or Grand Chase all day and didn't get nearly anything from it other then a low GPA and an almost impossible acceptability into college. If i could go back and just change one thing i life it would be to take schooling more serious and actually decide to go to college and get a job doing something I love. Being a shoutcaster and casting livestream games would be a dream job but honestly streaming, graphics design and being a theater usher will have to do for now.Static Noise Bird wrote:

I've told my relatives about the extent of my anxiety. After 4 years of doing nothing about it I see this as a big step. I could write a huge wall of text about the entire situation but I'd rather not now.

I want to dye my hair white or darkblueish (almost black) but I am too scared how others will react or that I am getting bullied again o(〒﹏〒)o What did I do to better myself... I watched many documentarys about (Chinese) internet addiction instead of let's plays. I spent waay to much time on youtube, thus I reduced it and watch educational videos instead. I also studied a bit of psychology in my free time
Rewatched AKB0048, took out all tears from eyes and realized how low amount of work and effort i was putting into my daily life.
Time to work harder and put some love into everything what i am doing ^^.
You can consider this as recommendation xD

along with "I just don't care. You shouldn't care either. Just do what you want without doing something stupid, Im using instinct" I also think understanding what this means will better me "this is all temporary."CanadianPaws wrote:

this helped some how, I always over worry and i'm so anxious at times, and idk, hearing this brought some closure
with that, I hope to become stronger by not worrying and put my trust in others

RIP my anti-social streakA few weeks ago, I graduated from high school. Now my classmates, teachers, and schoolmates aren't what I would consider 'close'. This isn't because I hate them or can't communicate, I make satirical comments every time they'd try to initiate conversation and keep it up for a good 3 minutes before I got bored. Yep, I'm genuinely get sleepy during any conversation irl. Communication is a tiresome thing, the longest I've been with a classmate straight was probably 2 hours, but that was during a chess match so it isn't really counted is it? It's surprising since I've been with most of them for 10 years and still don't feel any connection.
And yet when I saw all of them grouped up in 2's and 3's during graduation crying or talking about how they'd plan to meet up after awhile and it just kinda made me feel really bad for being the one kid bugging the teacher asking if I could go home yet. I felt that I should've opened up to them more. Or at the very least, I should've tried instead of letting myself fall asleep. There were actually some of them who tried to befriend me. I called friendship out to be BS at the time but I'm starting to realize I was wrong now.
So recently, yesterday that is, I've finally made a small effort by saying yes to one of their proposals to 'hang out'. It's kinda sad but this'll be my first time going out of the house on a trip with people that isn't mandatory for school. I can't even believe that they'd ask the kid who only made snarky remarks at the teacher every once in awhile to hang out. I'm really happy to have had nice people like that during school. I'd probably slap myself if any of them saw this though. Heh.
I'll try my best!

It seems like school fulfilled your social needs, even without you having close or intimate friendships.Mafuuu wrote:

Even if you pretend that you don't notice or value the people that were around you, they were still around you, fulfilling your social needs. You realize how you need(ed) them, once all the familiar faces are gone.
After half a year of being pretty much alone, it started to take its toll on me. So yes, find friends, keep then and treasure them. They are important, not only for your happiness but also for your sanity.
Another thing: Conversations get less tiring when you are actually interested in the subject
And with practice comes mastery.Kheldragar wrote:

Started working out, running and drinking more water. At the moment my training consists of 2-3km runs, dancing and kettlebell workouts. I'm also trying to get rid off my sugar addiction. This is something I've needed to do for years but never really got my lazy ass up from my chair.
Probably going to try going to the gym with my friends soon, I haven't been able to do it before becaus eof the amount of anxiety it caused me during eight grade.
