My anxiety about sex/intimacy would improve if I had someone who knows what I need.

All of my feelings would improve if I didn't pretend they didn't exist.

my thoughts would improve if i avoided trigger situations.
The kind of pain that makes you want to hurt everyone around you because you’re suffering & they’re not, because they can breathe without feeling guilty & hold a normal conversation without breaking down into fits of tears or rage

I would not feel lonely if only I would reach out and try to connect with new people instead of being frozen by the fear of rejection.

My feelings of agitation and loneliness would improve if I got off the internet and distracted myself with something else.

My feeling of fear related to skating and roller derby would improve if I built in time each day dedicated to being on skates and practising falling and moving to build my confidence.

Bump!

When you've answered the question, I suggest adding "so why am I not doing that?", if only to yourself. Might give you a little kick to do/get what you need.

My deep feelings of loneliness would improve if I made myself leave the house.

So why am I not doing that?

I have a lot of issues with social anxiety, to the point where even going to the shop is a big deal. I feel like everybody is laughing at me and judging me negatively, even though rationally I know that they have their own things to worry about.

I am going to get out tomorrow, because I am so lonely I feel sick to the very core of myself. I will get everything ready this evening, so I have no excuse not to do it in the morning.
