I want to be more mindful about the light I cast myself in. I leave myself little room to grow and it’d be beneficial to adventure my way to better self perception.

I have self esteem issues that have me avoid testing how I’ll react to different scenarios. Whatever “wrong” means, I often assume I’ll react “wrongly.” I constantly shut down chances for myself to experience more things in life. Like when people give ideas for things I can do, I almost always reject them because I assume I’m incapable of doing those ideas.

    I have OCD and do compulsions all day. All that you said is good for seeing what my compulsions are, more details about them, and how they affect exact parts of my life.

    I actually don’t respond to a lot of hexbear comments because everyone seems so much better at speaking than me. I don’t practice confronting people in real life so the confronting way people on here constantly speak in is awesome. If it weren’t for the depressing news I’d spend all day on here.

    Today I went out, bought something, and had a few interactions with random neighbors. All of which can be filled with what feels like paralyzing choice making to me. You definitely made a good example out of yourself by typing this out, and I’m really thankful for it.
