I get in this viscious cycle where I want to be myself and be able to have things to talk about to people, but the only time I can really be myself and most easily talk, is when I'm relaxed and carefree. It's hard for me to be relaxed and carefree when I worry about what to say whatnot... I don't like the fact that on my own I can't seem to easily think of things. When I'm relaxed they just come to me though. I'll tell myself that it's not what you say but how you act that's important, but in my mind, that logic isn't good enough. I can be a perfectionist, and in turn act so imperfect. Any advice?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yep yep. It's just that simple. So simple that sometimes it's horribly hard to do. But once you do it, you'll feel like a new person. Always having something to talk about isn't good anyway - if you're always talking, it makes it seem like you are never thinking.

Yea, I should think more about this ex friend who'd talk 24/7, but bore you to death bc she'd always talk about herself, and or her problems.

You know you've just got to be yourself K. Eventually you will have to drop any pretense you have going with someone and they will see the real you. So be yourself and you will find friendship - and it will often be with people you didn't think you could be friends with (I know that from extensive experience).
