I use my phone to read books. Every micro break is a couple or more of paragraphs I read. I lost count of how many books I already finished instead of just doomscrolling...
I read about those you pointed out and the avoidant attachment style ticks some boxes... It's definitely something I'll bring up on the next session, thanks!
I try... I do play guitar and I like to draw, and ride my motorcycle, but then... I don't know, I feel empty. I look at these things and enjoy doing them a lot, but when I stop I start asking, what's the point? Nobody will see this or hear this or whatever. Why even bother? When I'm alone and go to a show or watch a movie I always enjoy the moment but get that dread after the deed, the "you're doing this alone and this is wrong" feeling.
This is definitely an issue, I do have low self-esteem and getting older is not helping my case. Everything physical is getting harder to do and taking a toll both physical and mentally, which is a tough pill to swallow because I was always very active. Getting old sucks.
That's really interesting, I'll look into it. I'm doing therapy for a year now and decided to ask here to see if you people could give me insights to talk to my therapist. I'll take these to her too, thank you very much.
You're right, I'm doing therapy for a year now but things works really slow. I'm talking a lot about this with my therapist, and thought that asking here could bring me some insights to discuss with her. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.
Got it, thanks!
