1. Mostly the problem is in conversations with my gf. And it’ll be conversations that I’m already engaging in, and my brain says “It’s been too long without you saying something, say something now.”
2. Those are all things that I try to do. I find that music really helps me to focus, but I can’t always have music
3. I tend to do the same, but the problem I experience is when one person changes their sense of humor. (sometimes due to hormones, other times due to emotions, etc.)
4. I try, but I don’t really have a great relationship with my siblings. I know for sure that at least one of my two brothers cares about me a lot. (not saying the other one doesn’t, but he’s not always nice to me.) I think what’s helped the most is my dog. He’s a goober and I love him. And given how he reacts when I go to leave for school, i can make an educated assumption that he cares a lot about me.
It helped, thank you
