It keeps you lonely.
It affects every part of your life.
It can rob you of all your happiness but you feel like you’re not allowed to be depressed cause it just seems pathetic that your life is ruined by the fear of social interactions.
On top of that you can’t really open up about your problem because of the social anxiety and admitting you have it is embarrassing.
I need to choose a college major soon.
For years, I’ve been 85% sure about engineering and 100% sure about going into STEM.
However, I’m starting to worry that I’m just romanticizing the career because the word ‘engineering’ sounds cool and prestigious.
In school, I’ve always liked science and math. My math skills are above average, but I’m not like a genius.
While I think machines and technology are cool, I’ve never spent my free time deeply studying them. I don't really have a single thing I’m super passionate about in life anyway.
Part of me honestly just wants the degree for the good reputation and financial stability. Because it's a notoriously difficult major, I’m terrified that my lack of intense passion means I’ll burn out and fail.
I’m scared there are going to be so many people in my major who are like super passionate and next to them I’ll look like an idiot.
Does anyone else feel the same?
Or does anyone have advice?

Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a project and need some technical drawings or sectional details for installing louvre windows (jalousie windows).
Specifically, I am looking for:
The top connection to a parapet
The bottom connection to the floor
If anyone has standard manufacturer details, CAD drawings, or sketches they could share, it would help me out a lot!
Thanks in advance!

Hallo, falls das jemand hat, wäre es sehr nett, wenn er oder sie mir ein Foto schicken könnte.
Brauche diese Zeichnungen für ein Projekt.
The thing is I believe one of the factors I’m so lonely is because I am pretty ugly and especially during childhood and puberty it messed with my self confidence and now I’m very socially anxious.
I don’t think I will never have friends because of my face but it just lowers my chance and I feel like other people don’t value me as a friend as much because of it .
I feel like people especially girls would rather be friends with a pretty person( it’s just something scientific)
But then once in a while when I’m out in public I see people with a similar level of appearance as me or even uglier and they seem to have many friends or even be in a relationship.
That’s when I realize I’m just bitter and it’s mainly my personality which is holding me back.
It just makes me so angry.
Pls tell me I’m not the only one who feels like this .
I know my thought sounds kind of disgusting but that’s just how I honestly feel.
I’ve spent all day on archicad but I still don’t understand certain things and I’m so worried I won’t finish until next week. I’m genuinely so scared. My problem is that I can’t create this detail about how the wall and the ceiling is connected or how the roof is connected to the wall. I’ve spent all day trying to figure it out, but I just can’t. I just really want to cry😭😭
I’ve noticed this behavioral pattern in myself. I always assume people are mean, cringe, or annoying just to have an excuse not to approach them.
In reality, I have no friends and I’m deeply lonely. But if I convince myself that I hate everyone, it feels like being alone is my choice. It makes me feel more "cool" instead of pathetic. Every time I meet someone new, I immediately look for reasons to dislike them.
I’m like trying to protect my ego yk?
I hate carrying this negative energy and want to break this pattern of constant prejudice. If anyone can relate to this type of behavior pls state your opinion or smth ? If you managed to stop doing this, how did you do it?
Yeah
Whenever I see high energy people they seem so happy and almost everyone likes them because they are so fun to be around and I often try to imitate their personality but it just doesn’t feel natural.
I try to be more “active” and fun but I feel so fake and cringe when I do it but I also hate that I’m always low energy.
It’s so hard to find friends because I think many people find me boring and maybe grumpy idk??
I just naturally want to become more “fun” without feeling like I’m forcing my personality.
Anyone have some advice or can relate
Falls ja wie lief es und wie hattet ihr euch vorbereitet?
I really can’t take it any more I am so depressed and lonely. I’m still trying to keep up with my education but it’s just too much to handle with my mental health. I always have this crushing pain in my chest. I feel like giving up but I don’t want to waste my life
I’ve been thinking about trying to make genuine friends on Reddit for a while now. I have pretty bad social anxiety and I don’t really have any friends irl, and I’m looking for deep, actual connections. I want to really get to know someone and eventually meet up with them IRL.
But honestly? I’m terrified.
I’ve always been taught to be super cautious of people online because you never truly know who is on the other side of the screen. Someone could easily pretend to be a 20-year-old woman but actually be a 55-year-old stranger. I’m really scared of getting trolled, catfished, or just meeting someone weird.
The dilemma is that to build a real, close friendship, you eventually have to open up and share personal information. And if you want to meet up, you have to share your location.
Question for those of you who have successfully made an online friend and already met them irl:
How did you do it safely? What steps did you take to protect yourself?
Were you scared at first? How did you handle the anxiety of sharing your information?
"Safe" is the biggest and most important word for me in this process.
I also feel like I want to share like emotions and how I’m feeling and not as much personal info but still enough so there is stuff to talk about but idk to be honest.
What are your thoughts on this?
It’s true I even get anxious when people dm me on Reddit to chat cause I genuinely don’t know what to write I’m just that awkward. Like wtf is wrong with me. Aaaaaaa
Like have you ever made a reaaally bad experience with someone you met on Reddit ?
Just curious.
Genuinely, I’ve realized there is a crazy amount of lonely people online both men and women across all ages.
But when I look around me everyone seems to be happy, having a partner or a friend group.
Are most of these people online just trolling or are the people I look at irl actually lonely.
I can’t really tell
And if there are really that many lonely people why can’t we find each other
Genuine question and if yes what do you guys talk about?
Let’s talk about something random
