I would also feel great if anyone free rn helped me with this
itsmeee
Hey, how can I help you?
spiritualstripper
maybe u could take me venting through text if free?
parrot
maybe you can talk to me
itsmeee
Sure, go on. I'm ears.
spiritualstripper
well firstly all my close friends have moved away and i can't contact them, at least for a couple months or maybe more... and my parents have more things on their plate... I feel like I'm not being myself and I find myself doing things I swore I would never do in my life... and me being an introvert doesn't help me fit in the new school I just joined... although everything I say would seem lame it's not actually not good for me...
spiritualstripper
and the fact that I'm good at things some humiliated me for not doing the right way also is bugging me... all bcz of my introverted self...
itsmeee
I see, I feel you. I'm studying at a new place too, and even though it's been months, I don't really know how many of my classmates wouldn't mind me calling them my friends.
itsmeee
it isn't lame at all, I totally get you
itsmeee
the "I'm not being myself" part is relatable too
spiritualstripper
I'm not able to express what I'm actually thinking ot feeling and i feel like utter crap bcz of this... n my now ex bestie may have also unfriended me without saying after she got into a relationship and i just realised our friendship had been toxic from day one
itsmeee
Let's see how we can try to fix this
itsmeee
Tell me honestly, do you think you're living for yourself?
spiritualstripper
sure I would feel great with any kind of help you know
spiritualstripper
living for myself... not really
itsmeee
expected
spiritualstripper
maybe 20% for myself
itsmeee
You'll find millions of solutions on the internet
itsmeee
but I'll tell you the real secret
spiritualstripper
I'm just a 17 year old to be and me being a depressed teen is so cliche and I'm hating it
itsmeee
I know you're trying to find ways to deal with your life and stuff because I've been through the same, and kind of going through it even now
spiritualstripper
go ahead
itsmeee
Guess what, I'm 17 to be too!
spiritualstripper
I wish I was a bit stronger than my original self you know... maybe at least as much as u
spiritualstripper
woah cool... ig I just found a new buddy then
itsmeee
But I realized just recently, it depends on how we take things, nothing else. literally nothing else. then I decided just a day before I'll never cry. and I'll live for myself, no one else. guess what, I haven't cried even once since them
spiritualstripper
I don't think I'll be able to do that.. but I'll try changing things...
itsmeee
So I don't know how, but this promise I made myself, I wrote it down, set it as my wallpaper, posted it here on this platform, and literally jotted it down everywhere. so that I remind myself. that I've made a promise. to myself. and you can break any promise. but that one promise you make to yourself, no matter how emotionally weak u r, you cannot break it.
spiritualstripper
how much ever I try it's just the fragile me in the end... but like u said I've never lived for myself... I need to start doing that
itsmeee
you can, because I never thought I could do this, but I really think I'm improving.
spiritualstripper
you're doing a wonderful job then.. I'll learn to do that
itsmeee
change is slow, it takes time. but this change needs only that one push. then it keeps getting better. see, when you start seeing 1% things more positively, your mind will assume that you are recently experiencing positivity more than before. Then it'll start thinking positive by itself. and you'll see 1% even more positive. and the cycle keeps going. so you see, just one step. the start. the promise.
spiritualstripper
thanks a lot @itsmeee... what u did actually made me feel better... πI hope we can be friends in future
itsmeee
why future, let's do it now :)
itsmeee
you're too similar to me anyways
spiritualstripper
yeah that's true but if something negative happens, even if a negligible things I chicken out
itsmeee
I see myself in u
spiritualstripper
πcall me sam
spiritualstripper
do u use social media? well ur 16 so obviously u must be... but just asking
itsmeee
that's what we're trying to neglect, try to think of it like this, that the negative only affects you, your life, so it's upto you how you take it. if you chicken out, you're involving the rest of the world. the world says its negative, and you believe it is
itsmeee
not really, I'm currently studying for an exam, so no social media rn :(
spiritualstripper
yeah... I need to stop taking others opinions too seriously firstly
itsmeee
