Did I regress?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm yet to be assessed for autism. I have got bipolar disorders which I developed as a young adult. Around the same time I think I might have regressed. I used to be fun popular outgoing. Had a good love life and lots of friends. I felt like I had a personality that could share a laugh and a joke and people respected me more. I feel like I lost a lot of social skills since then I'm shyer and I'm much lower in confidence. I don't really suffer with depression much. But I am whiney and I feel pathetic. Could this be regression?

You can't measure social skills or confidence.

Sometimes confidence is not proportional to competence.

Yes it could be regression

But you are constantly always progressing, staying the same, or regressing

You can't guarantee just the first two

I don't think you've "regressed."

I think something happened which caused you to lose your "social desire," so to speak.

You should try to go back to the point where you stopped having as much "social desire" as before. Try to find a specific impetus.

Perhaps you've "changed." But I don't think you've "regressed."
