I just need to cheer up

Post Reply New Topic

I often shake all my negative AS symptoms off, but one the one I can't always deal with is the jealously I feel when I see my friends chatting to band members. I can only say a few words then I got nothing. I was really hoping I was doing better, but it turns out I'm not.
I've basically had a two day shutdown over it.
I need a hug and someone to tell me that one day I'll be able to make friends with band members again.
I couldn't shake sensory sensitivity to sound too. I don't know why it's so hard to block out and makes me shutdown but it does.

One day you'll be able to make friends with your band members again.

Hope you're doing better.

Sorry you're feeling low. Hang in there. Jealousy is a drag. I get jealous easily because I am afraid that no one really cares about me if I can't always have something clever to say. That I'm not loveable for me. It's hard enough to be sociable in the first place. Don't be hard on yourself. I have read many of your posts on this forum even though I've only been here a couple of weeks, and you have very sensitive, supportive things to say. These are good qualities for makng friends.

*hugs* You'll get there. socializing is kind of a learned skill. you will fail time and again but you will learn by trial and error.

There is a good book about it, I haven't read it myself but I hear it is good.

Its called: How to Win Friends and Influence People .

I hope that helps.
I also hope things get better for you.

Thanks everyone, I'm trying to get over it. I just need to forget and move on.

Awww, I know how that feels. =//

Almost feels like i'm in shutdown alot of the time. Or maybe withdrawn and spacey is the word i'm looking for? I'm not real chatty either. It's why I like texting and the internet I guess. It gives me marginally more time to integrate and organize my thoughts before i say something. So I consequentially feel inclined to talk more because i'm more confident in my ability to express myself. In real life, not so much. I'll say a line, draw a blank, and then wish I had more to say.

hope is on momentary lock-down
because socially i typically shut-down
the flood-gates of sympathy broke down
and so i try hard not to let-down
let's turn that frown upside-down
compassion is a proving ground
so let's spread it all around
(and other random rhyming nonsense i just made up on the fly)

*GIVES "PENSIEVE" A BIG HUG* =)!

You have a hug from me Pensieve . I can sure relate to the sound issue (among my other sensory issues)---it makes me shut down too. You are not alone there. You have a special gift of photography---that speaks very loudly for you. I strongly feel you will get your friendships with those band members---you have a passionate drive that will get you there---and remember---you are very talented. Hang in there,
