Anxiety from media Anonymous 133710
I want to expand my horizon on hobbies and interests in media but I feel overwhelmed from all the options I have to explore due to my unlimited access to the internet and anxiety communicating with other people to make connections since I worry that I'm not interesting enough. ( I want to have things to talk about with other people besides sharing embarrassing moments and small talk) There's this one guy that keeps talking to me (he doesn't seem like a creep) and he's very knowledgeable about everything and is always talking about video games he likes, his philosophical views, and diverse music taste. Most of the time I daydream for hours listening to the same few songs and artists. This isn't a big deal and I'm not depressed. Ik its gay complaining about it. Its not only overload once I get invested in the story of something (like a visual novel or a book) my stomach feels like a weighted blanket is bearing me with emptiness about enjoying something (past hype fixations led to obsessions that consumed my energy and life)and I never want to overly indulge in something that risks taking over my life again no matter how joyful it feels.
