I used to suffer a lot of anxiety myself. I still do to some extent, but age and maturity help a lot. As you get older, you become more comfortable in your own skin and less sensitive to what other people think. I eventually became content with myself the way I am. I'm not perfect and not this or that, but I am who I am and I'm happy with that.
Being yourself is a nice thought, although we are sometimes accounted for. if I want to sell a work of art to a gallery, I'm going to wear a tie and pulled it back, while with my friend I am completely myself an more open, dont see meself give the gallery owner a hug
although I am always pretty satisfied with myself, although everyone has a wrong side, nice comment
That's true. There are certain societal norms and customs we have to follow in order to be successful. During the work week, I take a shower in the morning, dress nicely and show up at the office on time. On weekends, I may very well sleep late, not shower on one of the days and dress like a hobo. Regardless of where I am, I try to be true to myself.
The point I was trying to make is that I found that as I got older, I became less anxious. Drinking and drugs are not the way to handle it. Age and maturity really help, and I've also recently gotten into meditation, which I think is very helpful.
Well I try to leave alcohol and drugs behind me now. And now more to professional help and sometimes even prescribed pills, if necessary. But old age has not changed anything about how I look and feel in this world, although I have the feeling that I come across more like-minded people here and on discord.
And I personally can not just sit inside for too long, because then the stimulus is too big when I come back outside. and mood is also often a key role
a nice introduction, I am from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium
I've found that old age and maturity have helped. Like you, I get restless and need to move around. I also try to focus on the positive things in life and all that I have for which I should be grateful. Focusing on negative things that I cannot control is very counterproductive. I wish you happiness and peace my friend.
find peace in life is a gooed start i ges, greetings have some great day
