How Other people see you

Same here.  I think a big part of the problem is the 'social distance' aspect of social media.  I don't have someone standing in front of me.  I may not ever meet them in real life.  I'm safe in my room.  So I'll say what I feel.  Most of the things I said on there I would never say to someone standing in front of me.  I wouldn't have the courage.

Closely related to that, too, is the fact that throughout my life, I've either been ignored or ridiculed for anything I say.  Any opinions I've expressed have usually been rubbished, leaving me weakened. I'm not good at articulating my thoughts, or constructing a proper argument, in front of people.  I need time alone and space - and no risk of interruptions - to be able to do that.  So to finally find a medium through which I can use my voice and say what I think is very seductive and empowering.

its a tale of two sides for me one day i can be helping folk then the next im sending them nasty messages ive no idea how to stop it 

Its just one small part of the daily problems i face

ive no idea Ive suffered with Anxiety and Depression for many years and fought it every day there isnt much help for this either  

yep same as me but i still manage to do the same with texts emails i can't explain it 

Hi i deactivated mine months ago i found it was the only place i could vent my frustrations but it came out wrong every time it was a bit like tourettes i thought it then posted it and awoke each morning to the consequences and a trail of destruction and at the time i think im doing nothing wrong im letting folk know how i feel its just no one knew of my problems not even me wasn't just FB was Messages and Texts i would message a nasty text to someone with no provocation nothing i would just pick up the phone look at a name and message this person so ive had to isolate my self from causing an more damage to friendships family etc 

Hi Skeggy Lad,

Definitely not alone!  I just don't see how what I say can upset someone - until it upsets someone enough for them to tell me.

I've just deactivated from FaceBook.  I, too, was upsetting people - though not intentionally.  I posted something about the vanity and superficiality of people who do constant 'selfies' and plaster them over their profile page... which didn't go down well with some work colleagues who do just that!  But I mean... I know what they look like.  Why do they keep feeling the overwhelming need to keep showing me!  None of them is model or film star material.  I personally detest seeing my own photo.

Apart from that, I realised just how much privacy I was sacrificing.

Apart from here i don't do any kind of social media, I find that limits the number of people I upset in one day.

Do you know what help you need Skeggy Lad or what you need help with?

It will always happen, it's not your fault. 

Thank you for your Kind words and wisdom its all very new and raw to me and my family just now yes it certainly explains a lot but does not forgive would certainly be easier for me if it did but its not that perfect a world for me lol 

again thank you for your time and words 

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It is very admirable and courageous of you to do so. I am not a professional by no means least. It is worth remembering you are a priority, you are special in every way. Please don't feel as if your being labelled it doesn't have to go that far. You are an individual with so much to give in this crazy yet big world. You have been through a lot to get to where you are now.

That itself is an milestone achievement. It is easy to forget the positive things you have done. But, the truth of the matter is you have achieved, contributed and fulfilled many aspects whether people's lives, grow as a person. It is those times that are worth cherishing because those things are priceless likewise yourself.

Please don't deprive yourself you do not have to prove anything to anyone. You are your own person. Don't suffer in silence if you do need help or support don't be hesitant to ask. That could be the difference between an open door or a closed one. Ultimately, you are in control of the live you lead. Remember you are just as important as anyone else.

What may have happened in the past has passed. At the same time, it is hard to simply let go. However, you have shown such desire and willingness to strive and that says a lot about you (in a positive light) more ways than one. Don't forget who you are, but remember you stand not everyone will accept or understand if your family/friends care for you they will be there equally as you are there for them.

You are not to blame, please don't be too hard on yourself. You are exceptional, incredible and unique in every way. There are various reasons why people display negative attitudes but you can't take responsibility or accountability for what they say or do. You have to put your needs first.

If you don't feel like explaining to a GP or people you can show it in alternative ways e.g. video, writing...

You are worthy of happiness, life is for living it is those moments you know you have to take full advantage of it. There are so many chances worth seizing don't the opportunity pass by. This is your life please don't let it get to waste.
