I have been away from this site for over 2 years.  I joined the military and became really busy.  Unfortunately, I might be separating.  It would be under good terms, but I'm still terrified about...

This is day two without any tobacco, and I already feel better.  I used to smoke cigarettes for about a year, and then chewed for about eight months.  I have been using Nicorette gum to help me...

I haven't been on DS in awhile and I just wanted to update everyone.  I've been feeling kind of down the past couple of days.  Right now, I am in between jobs.  I was working for Ponderosa, but...

I hate the feeling of everyone moving on without you.  They are getting into relationships, whether it would be romantic or just friendships.  I hate being shy.  I wish I could open up more and...

Reading some posts on DS (Daily STRENGTH . ORG) and writing some responses of my own, I have come to realize that I, myself and no one else, should and need to be judged as such.  Even though it may...

I've come to realize that the relationships that I have been in and still in, which aren't that many, are the one's I have started.  This is my third year in college now and I 've made only a...

I think my confidence and self-esteem is slowly starting to turn for the better.  I have been in therapy for my slight speech impediment and people have said they have notices a difference even...

I just watched the end of Transformers where the main character saves the day and gets the dream girl at the end.  I hate when I see this, not just in movies but in real life too.  I get so...

Right now is one of those times where I am really bored and have nothing to do.  It's at these times especially that I feel really lonely.  Just trying to find things to do while I sit here...

Today was the last day of normal class for the semester.  This time around, I actually feel kind or proud of myself, but also sadder than usual.  My grades have improved from the previous semester,...

I feel like I'm falling behind everyone and not seeing things that they do.  There're people going out and making friends; some people making best friends of the opposite gender.  I don't...

I don't know if it's me, or if other people just don't understand?  On the outside, people just see a shy person that sits in the back of the room and doesn't talk to anyone unless spoken to.  Even...

I think i will check out a clinic on my campus.  It's free for students, so what the hell.  I am just so tired of being lonely and seeing everyone around moving foward with their social lives.  I...

I was looking into this therapy program on my college campus.  The initial meeting and five meetings after that are free because I'm a student.  I'm really shy and socially anxious.  I went on...

Sometimes, it's hard for me to say what I want to say.  Whethere it's making new friends or meeting new people or standing up for myself. I just sit in the corner and hope someone talks to me.  I'm...
