he one thing a regret most is that I've spent so much time studying, working and trying to achieve success that I haven't lived. I haven't formed many close friendships and I find it hard to relate to people outside work on more than a superficial level. I regret not taking the time to get to know people.

  | Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:12AM I can relate, although it's not because I focus on my career. I do focus on my career, but what gets in my way is my social phobias and anxiety disorder. Still, I understand what it's like to have difficulty making close friends. I consider some of my coworkers friends, but I never see them outside of work. I don't have people to visit...my emotionally-closest friends are over the internet. *sigh* What do we do?   |
 | Posted Oct 28th, 2009 at 1:26PM I can understand the problem of having an anxiety disorder, because I think I focused on work, because it gave me an excuse not to be social. The thing I have been doing to try and get passed social anxiety is to confront it. I don't know how severe your problems are, but the thing I have noticed is that when I confront any issue, it gets easier. I'm not there yet, but I know that self acceptance goes a long way too. I'm not sure how that's done as of yet. |
