Default Peer pressure: how well do you cope?, Posted October 31st, 2007, 03:54 AM #1 (permalink) |
Discuss on the effects that your peers have on you.


I start off:

Most of my acquaintances are good natured people. However, I can't ever be myself around them. I feel like I'm always being judged (it's paranoid I know) and I end up seated at some corner with serial afflictions of anxiety attacks. I never talk unless spoken to and even then I can't make eye contact or be normal. The whole experience of attending classes or hanging out turns out to be some horrible ordeal. It's almost always that bad. Resultantly all my acquaintances are just that, mere associations borne out of circumstance.

How 'bout you guys/

i knw wat u mean.. i went thru dat phase wen i was a lot younger den i am now.. u felt u never looked rite, or u had to meet some expectations to be accepted.. but then u get to a stage wen every1 realises dat we all r diff.. n we all ave our own strengths an weakness. n from dat day on u r not judged instead u r expected da way u r.. n respected for wat u do....

n den u realize dat u are more ur self wid ur colleagues n friends den u r wid ur own family.. well i always come out ma self wen im at wrk or wid ma friends n wid extended relatives.. i think at home i ave more pressure on setting a good example for ma brothers by being obedient, etc.. but wid friends n wrk dats it let loose.. i share my most lafter wid ma friends i guess..

but yes i do agree dat wid some grp of people i need to act in a certaing way which can be rather annoying somtimes....

I feel that way around some of my friends, but i'm mostly around the friends that dotn really judge me.. opr maybe thats what it seems like to me. its really disturbing when poeple are constantly judging u.. instead of just being friends.

Well most of the people I know are not at all judgmental. It's just that I can't get myself to realize that fact. Hence, the anxiety.

Amar sathe protidin to hoi kaje...tumi familyr kotha bolcho shudu...erpor amarta explain kore bolchi...

তাই রিমঝীম সে কেঁদে চলে, আপন সুরে আপন তালে

সেই বৃষ্টি আজ কাঁদায় আমাকে, জাগিয়ে তুলে সে স্মৃতিটাকে
কোনো একদিন তুমি কেঁদেছিলে, এই আমার দুটি হাত ধরে
বলেছিলে কভু দূরে না হাড়াতে, অথচ কখন যেন
নিজে হারালে আমায় একা ফেলে, তাই কেঁদে চলে বৃষ্টি আপন সুরে,
আপন তালে, আপন সুরে...

I can't even talk with new people, I can't even look at them, I can't laugh with them! I am such a weirdo! I rarely get easy with newly met people. I am unfriendly, unsocial, unreal! Totally pathetic mui self!

Good luck for me at the GTG!

when i meet new ppl, i am usually shy n reserved..or so i thought. recently (over the timespan of the last two years), i realized i usually can strike out a convo wid ppl either way older than me or way younger. i can't readily adjust wid strangers my age..to my great horror, i think i hv almost pinpointed to arrogance/pride (of wut? i hv no clue!! )

somehow over the years, i hv managed to portray myself to non-relatives as a shy, lil miss goody two-shoes. i dunno how i managed to cage my personality up so throughly..sometimes, in the midst of a social gathering, i get the strange urge to start doing the hokie-pokie at the center of the room

i can be my 100% real true wacko self only in front of my sisters and 3-4 other close/special ppl besides. a remark of one of my friends: "You kno, b4 i got to really kno sadia, i thought she was really smart...[loooooooong pause]...now i dun think so anymore."
