if you can't afford it or don't trust them, try to do some of it yourself

I have a lot of trust issues.

the more you expose yourself to what triggers you, the more you'll overcome the issue

so if you can get in an empty parking lot with a friend or something

^

Since we are annoymous, I can talk to you guys.

and just have them turn corners slowly and within view of the rest of the lot

Your body implies things

But in person... not really.

that'd probably help to do that a lot

I would avoid you.

Maybe try verbal journaling. Using like audacity or something to just record yourself venting and talking about yout problems

That's what I'm gonna start doing

Or at least trying to start

@Dusty Morgan Your trust issues are probably irrational look at the previous people who betrayed you and the people you want to trust

I'm same way with people. Random stranger? avoid. Random doggie? glad to say hello

Haven't had...the motivation...to

Same Misomania.

I do lack motivation.

Like Grinch here...

yeah that's a big progress killer

Id say most people lack reverence or standard and that feeds into lack of motivation

What?

but you have to think about the worst your symptoms have been and then decide whether or not it's worth putting in the effort to get rid of them

also, what

Are you saying people don't have enough love? Lol

No a hero

WHAT

I think I see what he's trying to say

buuuuuut

same way with cats. Glad to say hello to random cats as well. Stranger's outside cat (was picking up a snowthrower off craigslist) jumped into my lap for belly rubs and I was sitting there for like 10 minutes with him sleeping in my lap. But to talk to people? no reason or desire to

I don't understand what he's tryna say

I think there're many more obvious reasons why people don't get motivated

I am honestly scared of interaction with others.

@Twisted What are those?

I fear interaction with anyone irl

I think it compounds even more due to the fact I am disabled aka hard of hearing and tone deaf.

I think he's trying to say that if people don't have a hero, they don't have someone to emulate

Yeah
