I know you get anxious about what you may have said on here should someone close to you read it. But the concerns you come here for support with, isn’t it good to address? Aren’t you taking those issues directly to the source and addressing it with them too?

I have had struggles with my loved ones not acting caring to my face. If they don’t think enough of me to do that, they certainly don’t care to want to read what I wrote about how I feel about that rejection.

I agree though, it’s smart to not post specific details because you don’t want to jeopardize your anonymity due to whoever may want to do harm. I get thoughts about people using the information I post for good and evil scientific reasons. Yet I still post because I don’t really care. Let’s hope good will prevail!

Yes, I get concerned about talking about things that I shouldn't talk about. There are things that happen in relationships that should be kept private in order to keep the trust and show you respect them. Yes, there were problems and they made me so anxious that my reactions made it even worse. I have made progress addressing my issues and am patiently waiting to see (sometimes I address it; othertimes, I just listen) if it's enough. We all have bad days. I assume they care about me. I care about them.

I am sorry you feel no one cares.

I agree--hopefully, good will prevail.

I am immensely unimportant.
I think it's sad that they told you this because what we come to believe sometimes manifests itself in our lives. When I am really feeling happy, sometimes I get happy looks right back. An example would be when I was working at an event and cracked a huge ear to ear smile in the direction of a guy that was also working there because he was just so nice and cute (he was only around 25 years old)--having seen exactly how I was looking at him, as our eyes met, he immediately walked up to me and asked, "Is there anything I can get you? A bottle of water? A Monster drink (the Monster vendor that day was handing them out to us for free)? If I was in an anxious or unhappy mood--I would not have gotten that reaction.

I felt like my dad loved me unconditionally and I tried to do that for my children. I don't know if it was the right thing or not (one of my dad's favorite sayings was "you can't spoil a rotten egg" ) but that was the way I wanted to be because I wanted to be like my dad. He made me feel so loved that I mostly tend to assume people like me too (yes, I know I can be annoying and am not that talented but I don't often feel unlovable or that no one cares). It might be all in my head. Half of the life I experience is just what is going on in my head anyway. Sometimes the same tracks just play over and over in my head. It's only real because I am thinking it!

Yes, just log out.

And if you can't stop yourself, time to take your medications or call the doctor.

I deleted all of my social media accounts because it made my mental health worse. The obsession with scrolling and the fake persona's put in display by your own friends was too much. I won't do social media type things anymore unless I am anonymous, like on here.

After I deleted them all it took a week before the habit of checking was gone and I had no desire to go back.
