I gain a little confidence in my socializing lately. I am learning to trust my instincts more. I can’t count how many times I have been in a conversation and I think of something to say, but I hesitate because I often think I’m wrong. But I’m just learning that when I just go ahead and say it, the other person (or other people) will often say, “Yeah, you’re right”. It makes me feel more connected. I am more confident than I think am sometimes.
Good news, nick.
I feel the way 77nick77 does. I use my gut to tell me who to talk to first. I listen to this person then if they want to talk to me I feel like I have something to say about the topic.
but I don’t have that confidence lately. someone who goes to my clinic saw me on the bus and told everyone on my bus that I have a mental mood problem. now no one will sit next to me and I m blamed for it. I think everything started with this person from my clinic . I refused to sit next to him because I saw drunk on the bus stumbling word slurred…
what do I do when I avoid using this bus? I cant socialize on this line. the other bus lines are ride-able.
I asked for advise from my caseworker. he said to call him later and he would talk to me later . he said he never got them.
