>What impediments do you have? I have selective mutism, I stutter sometimes and have blocks (I think.) I don't know if it's considered a speech impediment, but I get thrown off when strangers greet me and so I can't greet them back. >When did it start? I can't remember any of it occurring before I was a teenager. I did, however, go to a speech therapist as a child, because I couldn't pronounce words properly; maybe the former issues were also present at the time. >How do you cope? When I was mute -which I haven't been for over 2 years, now- I would write my words down on paper. I don't feel as if I have to cope with my stutter. When strangers greet me, I have learned that I can reply with a nod, so as to not come across as rude. >How many times do you wish death upon yourself when you're forced to speak publicly? I feel embarrassed of myself after speaking to cashiers, but so do I feel about my other weird mannerisms. >How do you think it affected your life? The other impediments haven't been much of issues for me, but mutism has harmed me horribly at one point in life, I can't talk about it. >i deserve to get bullied Children are cunts, Hikarin did not deserve to get bullied. >the lack of friendship was actually valuable cuz it made me develop skills and hobbies that i wouldn't have had time to Skills and interests can still be shared between friends, Hikarin deserves someone to share theirs with.

>>11937 how scary....

>>11945 i cannot imaging jumping 500 times...

>>11937 i have no wife to lose, and here's to that

>>11954 what if it could've been your future wife hikarin...

im quivering in my feet out of fear. also my legs hurt, whyd you have to make me do that

Why does this hikarin need to establish communication with its neighbors? It seems that approaching them would be too intrusive, so its better to wait for them to show interest. If you're doing it just because, it doesnt make sense. Are you hoping to build connections for the future?

>>11949 >Why does this hikarin need to establish communication with its neighbors? It seems that approaching them would be too intrusive There is an old saying, a close neighbor is better than a relative far away, I feel like not making friends with neighbors is a bit dumb.. I don't know.. I wouldn't know if it's common to not make friends with neighbors in an apartment block. >so its better to wait for them to show interest. If you're doing it just because, it doesnt make sense. Are you hoping to build connections for the future? I managed to wish them an evening today, so I think I did well! They waved off when they went into their room, I was picking up food when I came across them and they smiled after I wished them, then went inside. I just don't know if they're ever free to speak to for longer periods. I'm hoping to make friends with them, I wonder if they feel alone similar to me, I guess to speak and connect to someone reliable or help them if they ever want anything. I don't know why I psychologically think this way, but I guess it is a desire to connect and get to know others, what do you think Hikarin?

I dont think a couple would feel lonely. Besides, truly lonely people dont often leave their homes. Older people like it when younger people are interested in helping them or having simple conversations, so its easier to get closer to them, and theyre more open-minded. If you helped that old man, I'm sure he remembers you. The next time you see him, you can try to strike up a simple conversation with him, asking about his life. It should be subtle, and you might be able to help him again.Why didnt you know your neighbors until now, Hikarin?

>>11951 Thank you Hikarin! I got to know them only recently, I moved in over here a few weeks ago.. The grandpa had it a bit hard in that his voice is rough, so I mostly spoke a lot while helping him.. is there any way to connect with truly lonely people? I never know of them, or when they go out..

Lonely people find refuge on the Internet, in places like this, I think. In reality, such people are more fearful and therefore it is difficult to make contact with them. It will be easier to get to know those people with whom you live on the same floor at the beginning. While you have moved quite recently, you will not be considered strange, perhaps they will only think that you are not familiar enough, you should not be shunned. Try to be polite and greet those tenants whom you see. Going back to the topic of single people, it's also difficult in reality because it would be very awkward for both of you. It depends on how unsocialized people you would like to interact with are.

>>11841 why not melatonin?

>>11863 doesn't that need a prescription

>>11865 nah, its over the counter. I highly recommend against relying on it to sleep though

>>11866 I once tried to purchase it and they wanted a prescription should i try again in another pharmacy i don't like in America

>>11832 Sleep too much, and ye get fired Sleep too little, and ye get tired and get fired Sleep normally, and ye get tired and want to go to the other extremes HOW DOES SOMEONE SLEEP

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>11927 THE TRUTH HAS COME OUT

>>11751 I joined and then left the military, it was a horrible experience but also the only interesting thing I ever did in my life I then moved to the capital to further my education but had to move back home as it was clear that I would have no money left by the end of it I am now a NEET struggling to find even downie-tier employment or an affordable car and my parents want to kick me out but hey at least I passed the JLPT N1 last year I don't think I even spoke to any women let alone handholding any

>>11928 Sounds like someone joined the wrong branch with the wrong job. I'm living like a king and almost like a neet with how little I work

>>11929 I wouldn't know, I didn't even graduate from training. Pay-wise I would barely have made more than my past job

>>11930 Thats crazy. I was making 19 an hour at a factory and I make twice that now with so much PTO that its crazy.

>>11931 yeah I would have been a sergeant and making nowhere near that much. it wouldn't have been worth it when I would realistically ended up doing myself in

>>11922 >I spent the last 10 years enclosed in my room, and I'd like for me to get some good memories that are not just four walls. >I already got a job so that may be the least of problems for now. But I still live like a neet, never really ever going outside. Lucky I dropped out of high school when I was really young.. I wish I could get a job but it's so hard where I live. I don't know if a GED will be hard. It's hard to make friends now that everyones on their phones, maybe go outside to community places, public transport for example, strike up conversations if you see the same people over and over again, and if they ever invite you somewhere, go there. You could go to a coffee shop and hang out with old people, or to a bar which is a bit less exciting, and keep going there to have fun. I've always been frightened of the gym despite being around 60kg You could always volunteer, which country are you from? You could look at apartment posters, or whatever poster is there in the community. The phone kind of made everyone a NEET in a way, and university is probably the last place to make friends officially. You could check out sites like Tagmap(even if it is dead) with weird anons. Try going to conventions, anything. I've felt that the feeling of being a NEET leaves you once you regularly develop a habit of studying. Good luck hikarin!
