I often decline things with friends b/c sometimes I get a feeling of feeling trapped, similar to when some people fear or avoid open spaces b/c they feel small or inhibited perhaps? (same with the fear of closed spaces). I am entering therapy soon, but was curious if anyone has also had this type of irrational fear... I know a lot of it stems from my feeling very low confidence, and I don't speak up with friends sometimes for fear they'd find me argumentative or controlling. I want to overcome this, so any others who have felt it (whether figuratively in a relationship, or when out with someone physically) feel free to share or comment.. Ty less

I know what helps me lose weight, but it is so much work.... at least 40 mins. cardio 4 times a week, OR eating ONLY 1200 calories a day:/ I haven't had any motivation to do either... but I want to.

I have posted about abuse I had from my mother since childhood here before, but this query bases around if you have ever known a sociopath yourself, or if not, where would you draw the line at their illness, or them just being mean or cruel? A short history is my mom has OCD, is manic, borderline personality and also borderline sociopath- she rages, curses, hits, screams, threatens and has even threatened my life once and her own. She is obscenely obnoxious and excessively clean- but when she has a RARE moment of 'how did such and such go?' you can see a tiny TINY spark of humanity inside. It is so rare but yet she shows this to her mother, and strangers, often. A mask , and then tells me people 'love her'... so when she is being kind and humorous with THEM, but never with me , for years, I know she is capable of kindness in 'some' way. She then says the most cruel and horrible things to me about myself, and I don't see it as illness at that point, I see it as mean... less
