Spending some time in a coffee shop

Yesterday my Counselor and I spent some time doing some food shopping.
She also took me to this open Cafe that was situated in the Market.
I was too nervous to eat or drink something but at least I went.
I spent the time watching her eat her lunch lol …
At least I managed :slight_smile:

I have a problem with making eye contact.
I have to work on this more.

Good for you man, I never get out. My parents don’t trust me to drive anymore since I’m “crazy”. So I’m basically just sleeping the summer away.

I never make eye contact either, social anxiety I suppose.

Maybe you can take a walk somewhere or get a ride?
Thanks @eduvigis.

Poor eye contact is also associated with Negative Symptoms.

Maybe, its tought to do with the sedation from the meds and all. Sz makes it hard to enjoy being surrounded by people or something.

Yeah it does.
I hardly go out on my own.
I have to be “pushed” by others.

I would be happy to go to the local Burger King, that’s my idea of an outing. Unfortunately I would have no friends to go with. Deary deary me.

I went for a walk this morning for exercise. I felt like such a loser walking by all the normal people.

So walk some more.
A good method to get out and pass the time.
If you can run, even better.
Felt like a loser- that’s an intrusive feeling :grin:.
You can fight it.
I learned never to compliment people because no one deserves compliments.
It is a mirage that you have that others are winners, they are suckers more than you,
you are of ill health that’s it.
That they manage to do more means nothing, don’t get sore.
Envy is an intrusive feeling, and it is good if you learn to manage it regardless of your own condition.

Instead of socializing, we can watch them in the market, to ease our anxious feelings a little. I try to look at somewhere else if someone notices me.

I want to run with my little brother tomorrow, hopefully he will say yes. He might be sore from soccer today.
