Let's Be Human
So, this idea came from a YouTuber. This thread is just a place where you can not just be yourself, but be raw and real. You can talk about situations you've been in that have maybe made you a stronger person, or perhaps talk about something or someone that's giving you a hard time. You can give advice or encouragement. Just be human. You can even think of this as an internet support group of a sort (not trying to copy danisnotonfire. I just don't really know what else to call this thread). And if you are still uncertain about this, let me be the first to talk about something I'm going through right now. Maybe this will make you more comfortable.
So, I've been struggling with anxiety for a while now. Mainly a fear of germs and death, which are pretty common fears. But if anything is holding me back in life, it's my fear of germs and getting sick. Even though I LOVE autumn, I also dread it because that's when the Flu and stomach flu/bug/virus is going around, and I loathe both of those viruses. I hate, and fear, them so much, that I just can't see myself really living life as a normal human being. Why do I say that? Well, I'm so afraid, I will hold things with paper towels, and, sometimes, after I return home from school or another place, I might wipe my whole body down with disinfecting wipes, and I definitely over wash my hands (my hands are so dry, and often crack and bleed sometimes). I try telling myself to stop worrying about getting sick, especially getting the stomach flu, which I am fearing the most right now, but I just can't. So, it makes it hard for me to enjoy life and try out activities and pursue my dreams. Heck, one reason why I want to be a YouTuber is because I don't really have to be around people and germs. I wish I wasn't this way. But, I am... for now. I hope that all changes, but I kind of doubt it. Anyway, hopefully me opening up about this will make others more comfortable about being themselves on here. And feel free to comment yourself. Perhaps your story or advice will help someone reading the comments on this thread. And if you are still uncertain about commenting, which you don't have to do, by the way, just know that this is a very safe and loving community and I trust everyone on here (much more than my own parents), not to mention everyone here is super sweet. So, yeah. I don't know what else to say, except, byeee!! ***To the mods: Just to let you know, I am not trying to get personal information out of people. I created this thread so that, maybe, someone reading it will find encouragement or realize that whatever he/she might be going through, he/she isn't alone in it. However, I understand if you want to take this thread down*** Last edited by Mommy 2 Jules; 11-06-2015 at 12:11 AM. Reason: removed advertising of social media |

I can see why you loathe getting sick, and I suggest that you eat lots of healthy foods. Eating lots of healthy foods can prevent you from getting sick, and that will mean you won't have to worry as much.
Now, for me, I have been struggling with social anxiety lately. I am shy and don't talk very much, but on the inside I am lonely and just want to have friends to hang out with. |

When I started reading this I wasn't planning on posting anything, but now I think I will.
I have the exact same problems both of you have. I wash my hands constantly (to the point of them drying out) and whenever I get home from going somewhere I think is dirty (even if it's not what other people would consider dirty) I'll either take a bath, or change my clothes. I'm getting better about it, but sometimes I wonder if I'm actually getting better about washing my hands, or just not doing things that'll get my hands too dirty. And, I literally can't talk to anyone outside my parents or my pets. I'm too scared to, and if I have to, I talk with a bad stutter, and my voice can sound kinda shaky. Talking to cousins or other family is better, but I'm still really shy. Also, Alexa, could you possibly use just a warm wash cloth and some soap instead of disinfecting wipes? Most have bleach in them, and that can't be good for your skin. A warm wash cloth would be much safer, and still gets you clean. And I've found that using non-greasy Aloe lotion can keep your hands from getting as dried out. |

I kind of thought I had already posted on this, but I guess I hadn't.
Man. I wash my hands a lot too. If I touch certain objects, especially if I think people have been petting animals, or maybe have Poison Ivy. I will consciously avoid things if I even think that Poison Ivy somehow got on there. And even now I avoid things because my cat touched them, (in my defense my sister did get Poison Ivy from the said cat.) Can you tell yet that I don't like Poison Ivy? I'm a quiet person, and I used to be even quieter. Like nobody really knew me, or what was going on in my heart. Thankfully I have been able to come out of that a bit. But even now I still worry about having one on one conversations with friends and running out of things to say. And it still is scary to go deeper and admit things to someone. @Daisy, don't be scared of talking to people! They are human too!

I'm sorry you struggle with washing your hands too much too, Daisy and Primrose (though I'm glad I'm not alone in this). :/

Hmm, I haven't thought about using a wash cloth. I'll have to try that, as well as aloe lotion. Thanks. Quote:

Pixie Hollow was like that for me too. I wasn't shy on there, I could talk to people and they would listen. In real life trying to start a conversation with someone was hard for me, unless if it was with one of a few friends I knew for a pretty long time. Now I'm more chatty with my friends, but I'm still shy and soft-spoken around new people.

Pixie Hollow
You know Melody I feel the same as you do. I am not outgoing, talking to people I don't know and I often don't know what to talk about.
That has changed slightly through the years as I am a Grandmother Fairy. I found it easy to talk to Fairies in Pixie Hollow, making many friends. You know I think we all have a child inside of us no matter how old we get. That made Pixie Hollow fun, meeting others and being kind, talking to others. I also know sometimes Fairies would have a problem on the mainland and we could talk about it. I liked encouraging Fairies. i was always a kind fairy, unfortunately not all fairies were. I still miss Pixie Hollow so much. I know there a few petitions in some Blogs you can sign to bring Pixie Hollow back. These are new petitions, not the ones that were out in 2013. I hope they put a link here in the Forums for Fairies to sign. I have signed them already.
