BREAKING NEWS UPDATES (#5)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Nice. I doubt she was terribly pleased.

[Poulet Frit]

She wasn’t at all. She hates being rickrolled.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Sounds like a lovely opportunity then.

[Poulet Frit]

Oh yes. It’s fun

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I can imagine.

[Poulet Frit]

I almost got the chance to rickroll people at a lock in Friday night.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Oh, that sounds fun.

[Poulet Frit]

It was a long night

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Not surprising.

[Masøn M.]

I know I’m kinda late… But I’ve recently listened to Dear Evan Hansen, (since I’ve listened to it a billion times), and I bawled my eyes out… Not even gonna deny it… I love it so much… I only wish the actual show wasn’t… err… so vulgar… But, I mean, I can just stick to the music…

[Poulet Frit]

I’m too old for all that. But at 530am, a 30 year old man was ooh-ing and ah-ing over pictures of my cat

[Poulet Frit]

I…would probably bawl too, so I’ve been avoiding listening to it. I’m not 100% sure whether I would bawl or not

[Masøn M.]

If you’ve struggled with social anxiety, depression, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, worthlessness… Then yeah, you will. If not, you probably won’t, but it is still totally worth listening to…

[Poulet Frit]

I have not struggled majorly with any of those things, but they are all close to my heart because I know people who struggled/struggle with it.
So I would probably bawl.

[Poulet Frit]

Now I feel like you need a hug, mason.
But I don’t know how you feel about Internet hugs.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Yeah, listen to it. I’m curious what you would think.

[Masøn M.]

I’m fine lol, I’ve only struggled with one of the above, and it’s milder compared to the others, and I’m okay… It’s just that the songs express my thoughts and my feelings so well and in a way that hits so close to home in some things…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

What exactly is the definition of social anxiety?

[Poulet Frit]

I’ve discussed the storyline in great detail with Peter before. I’ve heard if I could tell her (I think that’d what it’s called)
It’s hard for me to listen through things that are lengthy, because they deserve all my attention, and finding time where I can devote that attention is hard. I will put it on the list, and tell Peter so he can remind me everyday.
I’ll get to it before…halloween.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

The plot is kind of dorky, the music itself is better.
Isn’t Hamilton longer?

[Poulet Frit]

I feel like some people would see feeling worthless as being milder than depression or suicidal thoughts. But I see all of those things as equal terribly sad. I hate people feeling lonely and people feeling unloved and like they aren’t worth anything. It’s my goal on this earth to make sure people know how much they are loved and cared for, even if it’s only by me.

[Masøn M.]

Social anxiety is like being unable to express your thoughts in front of others, unable to communicate to people… It’s not just awkwardness and nervousness, it’s… Like a super magnified version of that, and it’s rough… I don’t think I have social anxiety, I’m just awkward IRL, and it is hard for me to talk to people I don’t know, and I stumble through words and I second guess everything I’m about to say and I beat myself up for the things I say or don’t say later, but I’m pretty sure that’s just me lol

[Poulet Frit]

I do that too. Just answering yes or no is hard. Ordering food is hard. Cuz I’m shy. I have never had social anxiety, and I know intervertism and shyness are very different, but they do have similarities

[Masøn M.]

When I order food I basically just cross my fingers and hope they don’t ask me any questions about what I said, or about a side or something… If I’m saying something to someone I’m fine, but if they ask me a question back I panic…

[Poulet Frit]

Aww, I have to rehearse what I am gonna say in my head.
During the lock in, we were playing would you rather. That was…stressful when it was my turn. But I did good I think. I kinda got preachy and talked a lot. But I did OK on not stuttering or whatever else I do.

At work I have to be very personable, and that’s hard for me. I fidget a lot (my district manager points it out whenever I see her)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Oh. Doesn’t everybody struggle with that to some extent?

[Explosive Yeast]

I’ve never dealt with social anxiety but I’m very introverted and had some chunks of my life were I didn’t really have any friends and awhile lot of loneliness/depression/worthlessness came out of it. I….cry so hard during dissapear and you will be found and words fail and waving through a window.

[Masøn M.]

Same tho, and yeah, that’s why I’m okay ordering food is because I rehearse it in my head… So when they ask a question back my entire plan on how not to be the embodiment of awkwardness crumples to the ground… It’s why like forums and stuff. I can think and modify what I wanna say before spewing it out…

[Masøn M.]

Disappear and You Will Be Found get me EVERY SINGLE TIME…

[Poulet Frit]

I feel like…no.
Not everyone struggles with confidence and such. Social anxiety is a legit thing (like diagnosis). It is…like a severe case of what most of us deal with. Social anxiety is crumpling. People with social anxiety cannot function in most social situations
