Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

Welp I woke up at 11 then at 1 and now at half 3. Can't say I didn't deserve this :v:

Holy fuck this thread is posting way too fast. I go to sleep and wake up to 150 new posts [QUOTE=Fhenexx;43042031]I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but this pretty much describes me to a "t". It's probably the reason why I didn't have any friends when I was down in uni, and it... bothers me. I joined clubs, tried to get out there, and yet nothing. Man, I feel down now.[/QUOTE] I used to be the same way. As long as you keep working on it, it'll get better. And realize that being introverted isn't some kind of "curse of shyness" it just means you need to recognize when you need alone time here and there and sometimes forcing yourself to be social is stupid to do when you aren't in a mood to be social. Now if you do want to be social but feel like you can't at that time because you are shy, again - its something you work on. This year was a serious turn around point for me in that I've just been exposed to meeting so many different people that I've known online as well as people that I've known in person, that I really feel totally at peace even in huge groups, to the point where the idea of me being extroverted for a bit of time is fun despite being a true introvert on the inside. It all has to do with knowing your limits and being okay with the fact that you don't have to be the guy to always be "interesting". Turns out, people find you interesting and good to be social with if you just don't give a fuck and end up being a comfortable third wheel for a bit, since I've learned that making friends and being social has almost 0% to do with your image and almost has 100% to do with how genuine you come off as. People who are always nervous about how they appear in activities and such aren't really letting themselves show how they really are infront of others, so that isn't genuine. A person who is super chatty but can't ever speak or interact with other except in ways that feel "fake" (i.e. doing big hearty laughs because its something you think makes people take you more serious, or always trying to show off name brand X or Y) also comes off as not being genuine at all. Simply being genuine to yourself in such a way where you are comfortable with who your are and your identity around other people is all it took for me to not only stop being irrational (shy), but also learn to enjoy extrovertedness. I really enjoy the company of others though and always have, so its only natural for me to want to feel more extroverted than I actually am. For others its different though. I'm in class with the most quiet and "shy" person I've ever met, who is 27 and married. He knows who he is though, is comfortable with it and when doing critques prefers to keep talking to a minimum but isn't afraid of speaking up or carrying himself in a way that is true to himself. And that's what really matters - he's quiet but comfortable with that. I think everyone in their early 20's goes through identity confusion or a skewed self-perspective and its easy to be super shy and over-critical of yourself around other people because of it (especially if you are a natural introvert). It takes time, practice and experience to learn enough about yourself to push through those thoughts before you realize that in the end your perceived self-image is almost always biased/wrong, its stupid to even worry about it all the time around others, and that being shy is simply a lack in confidence in how you are carrying yourself. After enough time and exposure to social situations you gain enough confidence in how you carry yourself to start being true to yourself around other people, which is all you need. If being true to yourself around others isn't working out with your friends, then those people weren't really good friends for you anyways. Take the awkward moment as something to not really worry about in the long term and you'll end up around people where you can enjoy their company and they can enjoy yours in an honest, true manner no matter what kind of activity you are doing.

I can't sleep for shit, can't fall asleep regardless and I suck at waking up

Same, gary. 99% of the time when I wake up, now matter how well I slept (if I even did), I'm always groggy and tense. I hate it. I don't know how the fuck people do that waking-up-stretching-and-being-perfect shit.

I can't stop falling asleep when I wake up. I wake up with my alarm, turn it off to get out of bed then end up asleep for another 2 hours. Time to reposition my phone to my desk to make me get up I think.

I've drank like a quart of water in the hour before I go to sleep, I'll urinate and take a shit before I sleep, I'll even stretch (I did all of these one night), and sleep in a suuuuper comfortable bed where I could wake up at the time I naturally do. Still wake up and I can barely bend my neck to look down and I'm groggy and feel like shit.

*brr brrr brrr wha-....7AM? ...fuck it I'll get up 10 minutes before I have to go to work....

Doesn't stop me hitting snooze every 9 minutes for like 4 hours though. I did that the other day.

I have a series of alarms from 6am to 6:30am that will keep me from fully getting back to sleep, so I can lay in bed and do nothing for a bit before getting up and getting ready for work. It's helped me.

[QUOTE=fishyfish777;43047046]who says that was an argument cats are selfish and do whatever so they're not the greatest thing ever even if they're cute[/QUOTE] That's part of why they're so perfect. They give no fucks. They just do whatever they want hehehe.
