There are many things happening with me right now. Finally!
I have to wishes in my life, two goals, two topics for my pdoc.
One is (re)socialization and the other is to be able to learn new skills and have hobbies.
Well, I’m still coping with ability to learn, but socialization is doing great.
I’m more open, relaxed, animated, active, and i show initiative to go somewhere with my friends. They have started calling me to go out too, but not every time and not everyone.
It’s not without problems tho. I’m still indiscreet when i speak, not always articulated, somewhat immature, not strong, and so on… But I feel more accepted, even with those problems i have.
My only hope is that this one will last. And grow further!
I want to be strong like my friends, snappy when speaking, and fun to be with in general.
Positive mood and better rapport continues. This will be 4th or 5th week now, so i don’t think it’s something temporary. Pregabalin and duloxetine simply work!
Best of luck mate. I’ve managed to keep at it until I found progress in those same areas!
Social effectiveness brings me a lot of confidence these days… one of my friends was teasing me that “[I’m] too smooth…” He had to watch me hit on a girl or two… (That’s one benefit of finding simplicity that works for you within the social juxtapose.) Easiest tenant is to not make ■■■■ out of anything about the long term!
Good for you for getting out there. It’s great to socialize and getting into a habit of doing it. I’m glad your sticking it out and giving it a go! It really can make a big difference to your life!
