What Worries You?

274 Name: Anonymous : 2022-06-09 12:35
It feels like everything I like is dying

Caught feelings for a person, out of the blue.
It's mutual, for the first time in like 29 years I've been existing. I'm happy but also a bit worried. How is this going to change my life?
My lack of experience really shows here, even though everything is looking good, I'm simply anxious about the unknown. Worst of all, before I met her I was really on the edge of giving up, thinking maybe relationships just weren't a thing for me. Why did I have to meet her exactly at that moment?

Lean into it anon, see what happens. Embrace that unknown.

Update to >>270
I kinda asked her out, figured better to break fast than to keep thinking about it.
Gave her my contact info instead of taking hers, as a measure to make sure she's actually interested enough to reach out. She did say she was down for it. Hasn't sent anything yet though, gut feel says she won't. Been more than a week already.

At least I learnt something about myself in the process, I'm no longer the anxiety bomb that I once was. Didn't even feel a raise in my pulse when I asked her out, cool as a cucumber.

Wish you the best anon, as I see it you already have your first victory under your belt. Keep it up.
It's a clever trick to give your contact information first, I hope it works out for you.

Outta college soon, still have no skill to live on.
Am considering becoming youtuber tho, do some live streams and see how it goes.

Yeah that's basically the best approach, stop worrying and enjoy the experience.
Even though we live far apart and I can hardly see her once a week but the fact that we both feel something is just incredible to me. I just need to keep my head cool and not lose myself.

To make a long story short since thinking about this always makes me sad (and i'm an ESL):
I graduated HS back in 2017 on a small town and started going to college by 2018, but it was pretty tough since it was far away and getting there (and coming back home after every class) took many hours and it was pretty unsafe, so by early 2019 my older brother (who's living abroad) convinced me to move to the capital and study over there, since it would be way easier and safer, plus he could send money and stuff.
I moved and started studying in another college from the ground up again, it went fine for the first two semesters until the quarantine started in 2020 and we had online classes, so when the third semester began i lazed off A LOT and failed the first two exams, i was so embarassed by this (since i was accustomed to getting really good grades back in HS) that i stopped replying to the teachers and simply gave up, all while assuring my brother that i was doing fine.
Then, i'm not sure why, but this repeated in the following semesters until this year began, though i should be graduating by now, i'm basically still a 3rd semester student and i'm extremely embarassed and afraid to tell my brother that i'm such a lazy failure, i know what i must do but i can't muster the strength to do it, every day i'm scared that he'll call me or send a message and ask what's actually going on.
I'm not suicidal nor depressed by the way, at least i don't 'think' i'm depressed, i can't say and that's why i just think i'm just lazy and spoiled since i had it really easy for most of my life until now, if i could stop being such a coward and assume my responsibilities like the man i should be i would stop being a leech and finally do something of myself, seeing as i'm 22 already and i'm basically the same guy i was when i was 19.
TL;DR: I'm a MASSIVE failure at uni 'cause i'm lazy and i'm afraid of telling my brother and angering and disappointing him and my parents.

I had similar experiences, it's really difficult to "open up" to your family when there's such pressure on your shoulders. I don't know you or your brother but my gut tells me it's better if you talked with him about this, invite him over or something, meet him in person and explain that you're not doing well.
If you wait until they figure it out themselves it'll be harder on you. At least in my experience that was the case. Your brother seems like the kind of person that wants to help you out, but if you wait till things get too far out of hand it might frustrate the people around you. So please, don't let challenges like these simmer for too long.
I was stuck in life for quite a few years too, felt like I was still a teenager at 25, it was pretty depressing but now I'm 29 and doing pretty good.
Don't be afraid to talk to those close to you about your struggle, help can come from unexpected places.

Nta, but I think that she would only use anon for a one night stand/she doesn't see him as dating material.

Tbh I think she might just be one of those whose default mode is flirty with a curvy personality. Or she was actually interested (whether in a serious or casual way), but wanted to keep a step back when she found out we might end up in the same group later on. Avoid potential awkardness if it didn't work out.

Either way it's for the best, there's another girl I'm actually more interested in in the same environment. Just never had any chances to make social contact, apart from the one time we introduced ourselves, and since then she never seemd to notice I exist so I figured I had no chances there. Though just before summer break she made eye contact out of nowhere when we passed eachother by and I was too surprised to even say hello.

That I won't find love after an abrupt break-up with my first love.
It's kinda silly, of course everything will be alright, the feelings just overtake the rational mind sometimes.

I believe that something better will come along, a love more intense and an experience that will blow the previous one out of the water.

i'm afraid that my drinking problem has or alienated my family. i guess i'm ok alone but one day when i'm old maybe my family will not care about my ailing health. i'm not there yet so who knows.... just i will not be saving for retirement and i will not be saving for future healthcare. i'm curious what life has in store for me considering all of that

Can you go into more detail about your alcoholism?
Are you NEET? How much do you drink in what frequency etc
You dont have to answer if this is overwhelming or annoying to you. Just out of interest :) I hope you have a good day

The new semester is gonna start next week and this will be the first time I will have full offline classes. I had 2 classes that I had to go to my campus last semester but the rest was still online.

I'm honestly worried if I could learn properly because I'm used to record all of my class lectures and just replay them whenever I'm having a hard time, and looks like I probably won't be able to do that again starting next week.

It's distressing to think of how much digital crap I've accumulated over the years. Just in a single day I have bookmarked about a thousand links. And it's hard to delete those links because I can't decide what's worth and what's not worth keeping.

I'm worried that I will end up wasting all the time I have in this world, that I will end up having to work some shitty job I hate my whole life, until I don't have any of my youthful energy left and every part of my body hurts, and my mind doesn't work as well as it used to. Every day I stay up late, because I have a bunch of stuff I want to do but not enough time to do it. I fear that my life will end up the same way. That I will end up wasting every opportunity for something interesting or cool to happen in my life out of fear or lazyness. I'm worried that I'll live a life of disappointment for myself and others.

I've had breathing issues for the past several months. Finally getting it checked out by specialist Monday. It comes and goes so I don't think it'll be anything too bad hopefully, but it still sucks.

I'm completely broke, in debt, and jobless. At this rate I'll run out of medication soon too. I'm a disabled veteran but have been ignored by the VA. I can't get any work either. I've tried for online jobs but haven't got anything that I can do unfortunately. It's been making me really anxious.

I don't really like to share my worries. But last year, I found out someone who's like a sibling to me was raped by someone who I called my best and that he's been preying on them since they were 15. The sibling told me, and then told me to act like I don't know since they was threatened by them and doesnt word to spread until they are safe. So I am stuck having to still save face as this person's best friend when I hate their guts to avoid suspision. I'm worried that when word breaks out how will I be perceived. Like I'm aware he's a shit of a person but I have to keep this act to keep someone I love safe and the whole silence is complacent has been something weighing on me. I'm also worried that my sibling isn't the only person that was preyed on. It's a lot but I guess the only thing I can do is to just remain ignorant and wait and it sucks. It really really does.
