Fear of going out alone, afraid to see acquaintances, often cry in pain, have a bad attitude towards family members. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I fear going out alone, am afraid to see acquaintances, often cry, and am not nice to my family, often losing my temper. I feel that everyone is doing better than me, and I believe my life is a failure. I can't see the future, and I feel like I don't have a tomorrow. I am anxious, can't concentrate, and rely on watching TV to distract myself. I want to study hard, but I can't control it and become lazy and lack energy, not wanting to exercise. I've had thoughts of wanting to die. When I'm with friends, I enjoy chatting, but I still feel sad and depressed after coming back. I start to be dissatisfied with everything and feel jealous. I become cynical and melancholic. If someone looks at me a little longer than usual, I think they are looking down on me. I want to improve, but I feel helpless. I lose interest in everything. I find life very boring. Desperate, painful, and self-deprecating, I spend long hours immersed in the internet and TV, doing nothing. I often fantasize and dislike myself.

Hello there!

It's not about what's going on around you. It's about how you see it. If you want to change, the first thing you need to do is change how you see the world.

I'd love to know why you see only the pessimistic and negative.

It's actually pretty easy to tell if someone is happy in life. Just observe their attitude towards themselves and you'll see. Happy people have a similar understanding and attitude: they know how to take care of themselves and treat others well. This is also in line with the Buddhist saying: you are me, I am you, we are one. From a psychological point of view, what we see and feel is a projection of our own inner responses, and it may not necessarily be the truth.

It's so sad when people with low self-esteem always see low self-esteem.

A confident person always sees confidence, and it's so inspiring to see!

It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous about going out alone or seeing acquaintances. We've all been there! It's also okay to feel a little down on the inside sometimes. We all have bad days, and that's okay. Try not to let it get you down.

&What are you afraid of when you go out and see acquaintances? Is it the outside world's opinion of you, or your inability to accept the opinions of others?

& Why is it unfair to treat family members badly, assuming that they are qualified family members? It's okay to feel this way! It might be because family members cannot meet your expectations, or it might be because you cannot accept your anger.

They feel like everyone is doing better than them and that they can't see a future for themselves. It's so sad! How did they come to this conclusion and why do they think their lives must be happier than others?

From this, it's not hard to see that the questioner is really struggling with some deep-seated disappointments. These feelings are affecting his view of himself and the world around him. This negative thinking is holding him back from taking action. As he says, he's not ready to make changes and doesn't want to exercise. So, if he's given up on saving himself, how can he see that help from others can make a difference and motivate him to act?

It's okay to make mistakes. We all do. The important thing is to learn from them and move on. Try to adjust your unreasonable perceptions and get rid of negative thinking. You've got this!

Let's say, for instance, that you're feeling a little blue. Everything you see is suddenly tinted with pessimism. If you spend your whole life thinking this way, you'll gradually lose the power to change your life. But what life really needs is the power to create! No matter how low your energy is, as long as you believe in yourself and are willing to change your life through your own strength, your life will change!

Keep that desire to explore alive and well! And remember to replace negative thinking with optimistic thinking.

[Look at things rationally, not through projection]

Projection is like a pair of tinted glasses. Sometimes, these glasses are brought to us by our parents, and sometimes we choose to wear them ourselves. How do we understand this?

If they felt their parents loved them less than they deserved, they'll probably pass on that feeling to their kids. It's a vicious cycle! Kids unconsciously take on their parents' perceptions, and as adults, it's tough for them to shake off the negative thoughts that come with them.

There's another group of people who, when they become adults, put on "colored glasses" on purpose. They want to meet their inner expectations. They use these glasses to evaluate others and themselves to feel good about themselves. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. The first thing to do is to accept yourself.

[Self-attribution, objective understanding of yourself]

Many of the questioner's problems come from a lack of clarity in their own understanding of themselves. This can lead to problems when we attribute problems to others. For example, if someone else does something that we don't approve of, we might blame them. If we're in a bad mood and our family can't make us feel better, we might blame them for causing the conflict. It can be hard to find the self-attributable cause, so we might develop a cynical outlook.

Oh, dear, what is the problem?

It's actually the result of an unbalanced perception. Just as we can't see the whole face of an apple from our own perspective if we want to see it clearly, we need to see it from different angles to see its full appearance. When we do this, our perception is more objective and complete. This also applies to understanding problems. If the questioner is still young and growing, it's a great chance for them to encounter conflicts and upgrade their cognition and continue to grow. However, if the questioner is already over the age of 30 and their world view is still distorted, it might not be the best for their later development.

Wishing you all the best!

Hello, I'm Liang Ning, Xinqing's assistant.

You are afraid of meeting people when you go out. You get angry with your family. You feel that other people are doing better than you. You want to change for the better, but you can't control yourself from watching TV.

First, understand this mentality. You feel inferior, so you're afraid to meet acquaintances because you think they'll gossip. You feel you can't see a future.

These are signs of low self-confidence. You protect your self-confidence by belittling yourself. You don't refute your faults.

The same goes for family members. You're like this, but they still don't treat you well.

Second, think about why you have low self-confidence. You probably received little attention and affirmation from your family when you were growing up.

Unmet needs from childhood. A feeling of abandonment.

You're happy with your friends because they pay more attention to you. You're cynical and depressed when you're alone.

Finally, how to solve this problem. You want to change, for example, you want to study hard, but you can't because of anxiety and poor self-control.

You can't study properly or learn. Start with simple homework. Don't set high goals. If you can't achieve them, you'll just stress.

Do simple things to achieve success and build self-confidence. You will change little by little.

Just do something. Even small steps help.

Quinn Jackson Teachers are the transformers of the educational landscape, shaping it for the better through students.

I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and lost sometimes. It's tough when you're in a place where you don't see much hope or joy around you. Reaching out for help is a brave first step, though. Maybe talking to someone who understands could make a difference.

Nova Howard The essence of a teacher is to be a guiding star in the constellation of a student's life.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one struggling while everyone else seems to have it all figured out. But I know that's not true. We all have our battles. Perhaps focusing on small goals could bring back some control and positivity.

Wesley Miller The more one studies different psychological and literary concepts, the more empathetic they become.

It's heartbreaking to feel this way, but I believe there are people who care about you and want to help. Seeking professional support might provide tools to cope with these feelings of inadequacy and sadness.

Raphael Miller Life is a battle against mediocrity.

Those moments of despair can be incredibly dark. Remembering that it's okay to ask for help and that things can get better can be hard but important. Sometimes just sharing your feelings can lighten the burden.

Fabian Jackson Life is a journey up the mountain, with each step a lesson.

When life feels too heavy, I remind myself that every day is a new opportunity to change something small. Even if it's just taking a moment for yourself, it can be a start towards healing.
