For me, trying to respect boundaries tires me out more. idk why.
I struggled to respect boundaries as a child and early teenager. I think I still struggle to respect boundaries; but I am uncertain because I haven’t talked to an acquaintance in 7 months.
As a child and early teenager; I constantly hit on my female friends. (I don’t know why.)
- I keep looking at people’s feet and it tires me. I don’t know if I developed a foot fetish; or it’s just a habitual behavior that I developed because I hate eye contact.
I know that ignoring boundaries can cause health problems long term.
My reasoning for this behavior:
-
I do get pressured by my parent to go to the store with them because, to me, they’re ~40 and may struggle to transport groceries.
-
After 8 years age, I used to be pressured to go to church; but that stopped when I became a teenager.
-
I only hungout with a friend at home once. Usually I only have acquaintances. Maybe I have less experience with friendship.
I think I feel pressured to go along with everything.
This is a really strange post, and honestly, I think you need professional help from a therapist rather than the thoughts of a few internet friends. Wishing you well.
Yeah.
I fear the reactions I’ll get though.
Time to step the fuck up dude. Take responsibility for your life. No one is going to come hold their hand out to you. You need to ask.
I agree. I could be struggling with social anxiety; but it would still be a good idea to visit a therapist.
You’re definitely struggling with social anxiety, but are you going to let it debilitate you or are you going to get help?
I won’t let it debilitate me. I got outside to trim a bush and I feel a lot better.
