Neurotic mess?

8 Comments

I'm only 23 yr old woman , but I feel about 40.I go through everyday feeling afraid and anxious over stuff that hasn't even taken place yet.Is it normal to feel this way?

I supposed it has something to do with my shyness(I've been shy most of my life)and the fact that kids in school used it against me.

I am attractive but I dislike it when men or anyone expresses interest in me.I guess I have low self esteem. What should I do?

    Well have you ever been interested in the same sex? You must have had trouble with the opposite sex in the past leading me to believe that your feelings of superiority over men with hatred are reason to your shyness.

    Anonymous sex with multiple partners has helped me level out my shyness with people, so you may want to try that as well

    -Simple as That-

    I think you are "experiencing" life earlier then others! Things are tuff,lots of responsibility and expectations for the future and what lies ahead.You need to take things easy ( not too easy then you wont do anything ) and keep on mind that is never too late for anything! Have a fate that would keep you stronger! Good luck!!

    Im the same age, Its a scary time all the pressure to be something already, we are adults now and its taking getting used to. I feel depressed about it all sometimes then some days I feel overwhelmed.
    My sister is 21 and she had hypnotherapy and she seems much more confident now, maybe give that a go....

      I agree with her. You don't need to live like that - it sounds terrible. There is help if you want it.
