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.
Being pressured can backfire, like in your case. It’s a 1st step to realize what the causes are for the urge of trespassing boundaries.
The next step would be to not go along with everything, but to say no when you feel that it’s starting to overwhelm you.
This is good advice. I’ll try to utilize it in the future; but I’m pretty forgetful so it may take some time.
Why are you overthinking this
I’m uncertain if I am over thinking.
If feet don’t turn you on, you don’t have a foot fetish. It’s completely normal to be sexually attracted to the opposite gender. Most people go with their parents to church/the store. You’ve got nothing wrong with you, stop looking for it.

Gee. It’s certainly a mystery. Perhaps you have some sort of brain structural deformity. I’ve never ever heard of any 14 yr olds doing something like that. You mention a disinterest in church, so you probably don’t want to blame the devil for this.
be anti-social
