Why do people put us down, hate on us, call us idiots, and make us out to be the scum of the universe when we make mistakes or do something that doesn't meet their standards? And not just people with SA, really, but everyone.

We all have different experiences and views, and everyone does not share the same brain.

Why does it feel like people have forgotten that we're only human? Why does it feel like people are ignoring the fact that we are diverse?

Why is it so much easier to put someone down than it is to help them up?

We forgot to run your errands, we didn't write something well, we wore something that you don't like, we make movies that offend you, we don't know how to socialize like you all.

We didn't kill anyone, we didn't rape your cats, we didn't steal your only mode of transportation, we didn't plan a genocide, we didn't open fire on a crowd of people just for the hell of it.

We just made a mistake. We didn't know. We just did something differently. Some of us just aren't concerned with being number 1 or "fitting in."

We're not evil, the sons and daughters of Satan, or some crazy-fucking terrorist. We're human, and we're just trying to live our lives how we want to and get by just like everyone else.

I know I would be so much more confident if people weren't such ego-inflated pricks about every stupid little thing. And I feel like the world is slowly becoming one giant hive mind where imperfections = auto failure. And some of this post may be exaggerated, but this has been bugging the crap out of me all year, and I need to get it off my chest, and I'm just so pessimistic about everything, and I'm sick and tired of people, and okay, I'm done @_@

I repeat, Noodles is indeed awake. As we reported earlier, she was sleeping most of the day, but now appears fully lucid, with ear bows intact.

Excellent cuteporting, Miguel G. of Petographer.

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately with our last release, and its instability, we were forced to roll back releases. Unfortunately in doing so, it would seem that our notification system has been broken somehow. Our engineers are working on this issue as quickly as possible. We hope to have a patch within the next day, so we can deploy our code and fix the notification system at the same time. Please *bear* with us ;)

Currently all notifications are being queued up so they can be processed as soon as the fix is pushed and verified to be working correctly.

Thank you,

I assume you want chocolate sauce over the whole thing?

Say yes, Nehama V.!

[Whispering] Ladies and Gentlemen, Noodles has decided to sleep in. We’ve tried Sausage-smell-smelling salts—nothing will awaken her.

All we can do is patiently wait, make sure her ear bows stay on, and photograph the hell out of the situation.

We’ll check back on this story this afternoon. Miguel G. at Petographer will keep us informed.

I've been thinking about suggesting this for a while now. I used to follow a fashion community that also has another community for members to post off-topic things. I was thinking this might not be a bad idea for this community? This post was pretty popular, the community I'm thinking of would be similar except expanded, more discussion. Basically, you could post about whatever you want, except things specific to social anxiety as I think that should stay here. So you could post about the book you're reading, pictures of your pets, an essay you wrote that you'd like someone to proofread, a cool website you just came across that you'd like to share, anything really! I know you could always join a specific community for any topic you like but for me, I have a hard time posting to other communities because there are a lot of people already or I'm just afraid of saying something people won't like. Since a big part of social anxiety is a fear of being judged, I assume most socially anxious people would avoid judging people, at least outright. Because of this, I think a community populated by socially anxious people would be a pretty safe place to talk about whatever you want. Of course, there are people who aren't socially anxious who are nice and nonjudgmental but I hope I'm making sense. Am I? Would anyone be interested in something like this?

ETA - :) Any ideas on a name? 'sa_ot' (social anxiety off topic), 'sa_talk', 'sa_chat'?
As to the avoidants community, I had thought of posting there but they appear to have a rule against advertising other communities. I could post it on shy_ness.
ETA2 - [info]sa_ot There it is! I made membership moderated just so I can see if you're in this community, shy_ness, avoidants, or some other similar one.

Your mission is clear, little Ham.

Roll into the kitchen, procure yogurt drops, and roll back.

It’s simple.

We’ll be waiting for you.

DON’T MESS IT UP!

so my boyfriend and I went shopping at target today. he stopped over at the classic pooh baby stuff and pointed to one of the diaper bags and just said it was adorable. apparently they have little eared hats as well right now. he grabbed one and exlaimed that when we have a baby its always going to be wearing something with ears. its so flippin' adorable when i catch him checking out cute babies.

and omg cluck. we've been talking lots about 'ruining both our lives' as he puts it (in a very joking manner of course). lots of 'when we have kids' and 'when your pregnant''s. i know he wants to wait until i'm done with school. which isn't for at least another two years. I think he was disappointed (crappy i know) when i decided to go back to school, because he feels like we're putting our lives on hold.

anyone else decided to start trying while still in school? (we're 24 and 28 btw and lived together for two years.)

I wish my friends understood why I can't go clubbing with them. Just the thought of it almost sends me in a panic attack. Why can't anyone just get together and watch movies or have meaningful talks anymore and just not go out all the time?

Roving cuteporter Miss Heather over at NewYorkShitty found these anerable teeny subway shots. The photographer Victoria Belanger says:

“I’m a photographer for the DA’s office and there is a women there who makes these models (trains, apts, buildings, etc) for court cases, as a visual aid for the jury. The train is perfectly hamster sized so I brought my super tame hamster into work yesterday for a little photo shoot. They came out better than expected. I’m really excited about them.”


Our compliments to you, Sender-Inner Chef Mike! Via NewYorkShitty and BoingBoing.

So today I sent a text to a friend I haven't hung out with in awhile. She doesn't really talk to me much anymore, since around the late summer/early fall, and I kind of suspected its because she's good friends with my ex and he probably tells her about how I'm a bitch and blah blah. Also, I have heard from others that an unknown person was lying and telling her I called her a slut, said she was probably sleeping with my ex, etc etc.
Blah blah yadda yadda )

LISTEN UP. I was at this small lecture on finance&politics the other day with my father. There were about 50 people there, in this little lecture theater and they were passing the microphone for comments and I SAID SOMETHING IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE and it was absolutely terrifying and horrible. Like I just blathered on for what felt like ages and I literally had no idea what I was saying but apparently it made perfect sense. And then I was finished talking and my face felt like it was on fire and I thought I was going to burst into tears because my eyes always start watering when I'm really anxious, but luckily I didn't, I just fumbled around in my bag looking for chewing gum or tissues or some shit. And then it was all over and I went home. Anyway. It was scary as fuck, but I did it. I did it.
