Social interactions are hard. I think things are going well, then I get the distinct feeling the person has cooled towards me and that is usually followed by them making an excuse and going away. I run things over in my mind but cannot quite put my finger on what has gone wrong. These days I try and deflect and ask questions instead of the usual thing of the other person asking me questions and me oversharing. When I do decide to leave out a key point that would lead to oversharing it is quite a victory but at the same time I feel dishonest. It's weird. I would rather have little or no social interaction.

Very well put. I agree 100% and I know what you mean about "deciding to leave out key points". When I see my doctor I obsess for days ahead of time deciding what to say or not say, what to emphasise or deemphasise so that I don't seem like a hypochondriac or likewise like I'm not taking my health seriously. Then I have to juggle any stress I'm still bearing about the previous encounter, because I'm likely still ruminating about that too.

When I talk to her I go into a vortex where my other senses shut down and I'm in a type of tunnel vision hearing my voice squonk. Then it's over and I have to fill in the blanks about what really transpired. It's worse that I know her so well, because I assume she's keeping a running inventory of my peculiarities. I was even with her when I had my stroke! She's super nice but ... I won't recover from the visit for a few weeks at least.

same q about rumination.

Is rumination the same as repeating a word over and over? I get Teddy Ruxpin stuck in my head...

Rumination is repeating and replaying anything over and over, usually with worry or self-conscious feelings.

"compulsively focusing on ones negative thoughts", the dictionary defines "rumination"

The negative thought could be one word. For example, "rape"

But it sounds like the vast majority of negative thoughts are statements

You don't think she doesn't love you do you? Hopefully she does.

Nothing.

Have you ever been told to never see a friend again? If so, when did it happen and for what reason or reasons?

My sister has a husband and children, whilst I'm just perpetually on my own.

No.

My question: Do you have close friends or not really?

Right now I have one close friend.

Usually I have zero

When I had one friend, one person had the monopoly. Caroline Martinez and Amy Lee scheel b***h

But later it turned out that I was better off with zero friends than with her.



What kind of negative remarks did someone tell you about your appearance?

For many years I told myself that my eyelashes didn't look long enough because they are blonde at the tips. I still feel self-conscious about going out in public without mascara.

Who is your celebrity crush?

Christmas is the most sentimental and has the most sensory memories, but I actually like Easter for religious and personal reasons.
