I'm ashamed I didn't reply - time lies so fast, I didn't even notice how much I missed here! Thank you, mts! I was quite amazed how well it went. It was a nice exception. Moreover, few days after, somebody else in the family had a much, much serious "talk of this kind" and this has probably a bit "hidden" the mine (or its "consequences"). (I wrote more on my personal blog here. I'll check if you have access...) mts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Can this be a part of every day human problems, or just part of being human? This phobia, to me, seems to have taken over my whole life. This is true for, probably, everything: it's a matter of intensity; it depends how much and it what ways it affects your life. Imagine a scale of sadness, for instance: it also spreads from a mild sadness towards strong depression. So I think it doesn't matter as much if others have some problems and fears associated with eye contact; the important part is that in your case, it's a phobia which influences your life rather significantly. At the same time, perhaps knowing that others aren't perfect in this makes your goal more achievable (=you don't need perfection to feel OK) or makes you feel "more normal" = not so utterly different, just elsewhere on a commun scale (?). How are you doing? What about your ear infection? I'm sure it's better not to go to work when you have an infection! I hope you weren't too harsh on yourself for making that decision! Take care!

IrmaJean Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I am susceptible to mental/emotional energy drain too. I think sensitive introverts may need more time to nourish and replenish after interactions with others. Music can be helpful to me as well. Nature, art... I hope you feel more energetic today, mts.

Victimorthecrime Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Why do you think that it is that you "often end up doing nothing anyway"? I have an idea as it pertains to me but I'd like to hear yours first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
