ImTheMacheteGuy 08/06/18 9:37:38 PM #41:	Is your situation purely the result of underlying conditions? Or have past experiences caused and kept you in this point? Or a combination of the two? Feel free to explain as much or as little as you are comfortable with. I often find that when I play into my anxieties, they often compound and I find things seeming to be worse and more anxiety reducing as a result. Fighting them is like crawling out of an antlion trap yeah, so in most cases, the ideal response is "well, do I have enough to get by down here in this trap" and if so, well that's the better option it seems. At the same time, that trap gets deeper gradually and time more often than not makes it harder to climb out. I know that when you're relying on others and you know there may come a time when you can no longer do so, that pressure makes it all worse. I was worried about my brother for that very reason (he was a shut in until recently and a neet until a year or so ago I think. He got assistance and it led to work at first and an apartment as of a few months ago. He's about to be 28). Our mother and stepfather are in their 60s. Had anything happened to them, I don't know what would have happened to my brother. Our father is out of state and there was a falling out a few years ago. Neither of us have spoken to him lately, but that's another story lol. I wouldn't have been able to take the kid in. I've got my own issues and I live in an effciency/studio apt so I wouldn't have the space even if I trusted someone else in it, which is unlikely because I have major trust and privacy issues and my brother is one of the main causes from when we were younger, but again, that's another story >_<. Sorry, wall of text again. I just want to be able to offer insight in any case, if anything I say can be helpful. I know what it's like to be stuck in a rut and stay in one's comfort zone as a result, and I could make a monumental effort to try and help 100 people break that rut and even if I had success in 95 cases and all of them told me to follow my own advice, I don't know if I'd be able to find a way to do so -_- /blogfaqs lol --- Place-holder sig because new phone and old sigs not saved :/ <cite>ImTheMacheteGuy posted [p:906396341] in I'm a hiki...
