that's not being introvert. it's not even a hard task that takes courage. at this point if you're having trouble even for that, that's beyond being introvert, and you should stop blaming your problems on this particular trait. i am an introvert too, but that just means when im tired, i'd rather just be alone watching netflix. versus my friend where she was telling me that she can't stand staying at home

not trying to be an asshole, but you should really work on your issue. one "easy" thing could very well be asking for a price matching

edit : for all you with social anxiety, i recommend this free course https://www.coursera.org/learn/positive-psychology-resilience

You make a Coursera account, it's offered through U of Penn. On the page that asks for payment, click the AUDIT button in the bottom right hand corner. Then there is no charge or CC needed.

Once you are in, all the videos are downloadable for later viewing. I think I'm going to rewatch them all here very soon.

My partner had a week of mania and psychosis over the holidays (along with a suicide attempt); I am currently forcing myself to eat as he is currently having a manic episode (with rapid cycling). These are my coping methods:

​

1.) Put myself on a strict schedule: go to bed at 9; wake up at 5.

2.) Meditate for 45 minutes in the morning

3.) EAT (healthy food)! Even if I feel sick to my stomach.

4.) STAY AWAY from alcohol or other psychoactives to cope (I do consume caffeine, but not to cope with uncomfortable emotions)

5.) Exercise even if I really don't feel like it; I force myself to exercise 5-6 times per week.

6.) It is important to spend some time alone to self-reflect, but do not get bogged down in rumination and do not perpetually isolate yourself; make sure to reach out to family and friends for support. Something I regret is not asking for asking several months ago, so make sure you reach out and ask people (maybe even his family) for help.

​

Awhile ago, I took a course online to develop resilience: https://www.coursera.org/learn/positive-psychology-resilience

Hopefully this helps.

OMG, I thought I have just read my story. My situation is nearly as same as you. I finished the master thesis in a foreign country, got a job offer there but suddenly I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis and the company refused to support my pending working visa. I overstayed in the country due to the treatment and bureaucracy, later get deported.

Everything just happened 6 months ago, Now I am in my home country, unemployed, and appeal against my deport decision. I had suffered from depression and I understand your feelings right now. Things only get better this month. Today is my birthday, I appreciated the experience I got that make me grow up

My problems are not yet solved but I believe they will get better. I found this course helpful while seeking something to learn/read through the days: https://www.coursera.org/learn/positive-psychology-resilience/home/welcome

It's not JUST you, but it's not most people, and it's not emotionally healthy adults. It seems you have a fixed mindset (rather than a growth mindset) and are lacking learning skills. That's something that will limit you in a lot of different ways, but it is also something that can be changed. Of course not without willingness and effort on your part.

Should you wish to address it there are quite a lot of resources available. You could look up "growth mindset" or "building learning power" (resourcefulness, resilience, reciprocity, reflection.) This "positive psychology" MOOC from Pensylvania University might be useful https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.coursera.org/learn/positive-psychology-resilience&ved=2ahUKEwjkzdKbmYThAhWYeisKHQFGDcIQFjAAegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1njCe5xBMtkJSzY7ha7mQF
