Hey there, Just wanna say your not alone. I've experienced a lot of the same. My only advice: strive for happiness. Work for it! That's what I've been doing...

Hope this helps!!

antisocial tendencies are hard to overcome, but often they don't need to be.... seek social interactions on your terms, if your griends go places you don't like then they may not be the type of friends you need.

  The y have been taken away from me too but you can't let it get you! You just can't. It means you're giving up! Do you? Want to give up?

  of course not but i feel so helpless and that there is nothing that i can do anymore within my power to change it. i cant do my favorite things anymore that let me relax, relieve stress and generally enjoy life.

  i understand my friends and family still love me emotionally, but i need to experience physical love. i can be told a million times by someone that they love me or like me as a friend, but actions speak louder than words. i want to physically be around my parents and friends but at this moment in my life it is extremely hard to do so. sometimes all i want is a familiar face to look at to make myself feel somewhat at ease

  my mother has never been overprotective but now at age 20 she decides that my "safety" is more important than having a job, education or happiness. i just dont get it

  i make one mistake so she treats me like an incompetent child. how am i suppose to learn from my mistakes when she assumes that now im doomed in the real world and that i have to 'prove myself' to her. ***** iv been proving myself to you for the past 20 years. whether the mistake i made was big or small, her suddenly loosing every ounce of trust in me ****** me off
