I am NOT extroverted and I never was😭😭

some people also misjudge me as very cold and distant.

Everyone is extroverted on the internet😭

I think if people say you are cold and distant that they DONT know you at all. Because you are super caring to your friends. 🙂

And i was thinking about the last thing you wrote and i think it is true. Or at least people are MORE extrovert than normally. I have that a LOTTT. I say things on the forum like games or other things that i would DIEEE if i say it in a group or at school and everybody looks at you and listens.

But I think it is ALSO true that online can help you feel more secure and comfortable. I think writing on the forum helps me also normally to do things maybe a bit easier. It is not the same but it helps. 🙄🙄

Exactly! 🙂

I want a diagnose for Social anxiety (I'm pretty sure i have it) and for a few others i don't think i want to name as well, but 2 of my friends (who have the diagnose) said its superrr hard to get, and costs money.... Idk how to get diagnosed. But i think having a diagnose would make some things easier. But no idea how and where to do this, so yeah.....

But same for me, on tyhe internet I'm soooo much more extroverted as well!

Maybe a book regarding to this topic would or could help you.

I mean if you get the diagnosis you will only be taught in techniques to handle with it.

Maybe a book can help you in this way as well.

- I like this kind of "tests" and gladly look at them, but I don't really trust them.

- I'm probably both introvert and antisocial;

- I just heard of anhedonia, like the lost of feeling pleasure which is kind of a core symptom of depression. I didn''t' know that there was a social anhedonia, but if so, it doesn't really sound nice?

Do you really have to pay for it? I went to a psychiatrist to a regular center and didn’t pay,they were very good and i got my two diagnosis . It’s a center for youth and kids and you can go there till you are 21. Norway is similar to sweden in many ways,isn’t there something like this too? I know that going to a free center sounds stupid but i swear their services are really good. I also go to a psychologist there but I honestly preferred when i had a private one,she was better but I honestly can’t say that my current psychologist is bad for being a free one. But yeah the psychiatrist was the best. I am sure there are some services there too as i said,you can try 🙂

Maybe the free way is a slower and harder process than paying for a private doctor. For instance in France, a test I was suggested to take would take years in public and not much less in the private sector... Moreover, in the private sector, I would have to pay 50-100€ per appointment in advance. So even if it was refunded for a huge part, that would still be a heavy blow in a budget.

Hello, I don't know if it's always good to pigeonhole ourselves and others into ever smaller boxes. It doesn't give us freedom, it constricts us more and more. I've never done psychotests like that.

My friends don't think in categories either.

My hope for the future is that everyone can live the way they want to.

I've only been here since today and please tell me if I'm being a bit too brash.

I didn’t wait a lot. It was some weeks…idk about the other countries

and @belloque I didn’t go to a psychiatrist cause I wanted to be put in a category,i went there cause i was severely depressed with anxiety and couldn’t even step a foot in school. So I needed to get help also with a medication. It helped me and i am better now. I am not sure I would be here now if I didn’t get that help. If they diagnosed me some things it’s just because they need to if they have to prescribe me a medication. These things are very delicate. In the meantime i didn’t just work with a medication but also with my head by talking to a psychologist. I didn’t even know they were going to diagnose me something,I didn’t know how a psychiatrist works before going there. By the way you are not being too harsh,it’s just an opinion that I honestly understand and share it’s just that there are different cases you know,and many people need a diagnosis to have help in school for example,a medication and more understanding from the society in places like work or school cause there they want a paper with your diagnosis if you need help they don’t just believe what you say.

I mean for a diagnosis. Sometimes, you can have a first appointment within weeks, but a diagnosis can take months or years. For me, that was definitely too long considering I haven't stayed in the same place for more than 10 months these last years.

Overthinking.

I don't know, I've kinda assumed it costs money + I believe my friend said something like that once... But i might be wrong! it'd be nice if it was free fs!

I agree with you, and don't worry about being harsh! It's always nice to hear another's opinion and try to see things from a different angle.
This forum is just for fun, and also because I think that to solve a problem, you need to know it's there. Then you can start taking appropriate measures to make things better.
