I can't afford to move, I don't have a passport, money or a job. Why would it better in another country, when it is bad here? I can't get this qualification (and i'm struggling to get it anyway) it wouldn't be valid here, if I did it in another country, I would still have to do it here..
Plus a lot of stuff is going on with my current and new friend, and I went to a job interview today, and I didn't, get it I can't this anymore! The past few days have been really shit, and i've had enough.
I know, your trying to help, and I really appreciate that, but i've just had enough of my life, I struggle so much, but never get anywhere in life...

He has a lot of problems, he suffers from depression, and some sort of personality disorder.
I totally understand what you mean about being used by other people, when your an introvert. There is only so much that I can take, before, I have had enough and have ago at the person, that is supposed to be my friend. No one listens to me unless I am shouting at them. People are only super nice to me because they want something from me, they are manipulative. Once thy are satisfied they always leave and then ignore me. They make a big deal out of being my friend, but at the same time the hate my guts.

I write to express myself,to vent frustration. I have been bullied my whole life, men have been abusive, i'm lonely, depressed I have no friends or a boyfriend..
I started writing poetry when I was a teenager, the counselor I saw suggested that I do something besides cutting myself, but i've seen loads of counselors and taken anti-depressants but it doesn't really help.

Everyone in the town I live in knows that I self-harm, because I told someone at school that I thought I could trust, but it turns out that they weren't trust worthy. Now everyone knows about it, and people hate me for it, but their the cause of it partly :/ I don't talk to anyone, I just keep my head down, and get on with things. I don't draw attention to myself. It's hard for me to trust people, and relate to them. I have never been much of a happy person, but due to all of these things happening in my life, i'm even more shy, and introverted...I don't know if this helps you to understand me better..

I write poetry, so I am usually inspired by pain, or suffering of some kind. When I feel utter despair is usually when I feel the most inspired, artists suffer for their art. I usually write poetry when I am mutilating myself, it helps to vent my frustration/to gain control. Music especially if it is written by Trent Reznor inspires me, also some of his instrumental music/soundtracks are inspiring to listen to. Sometimes classical music, helps me to think, I find it soothing, to listen to something that I can relate to. I live in my head a lot, so I think a lot, going for a walk, or when i'm out at night time, it helps to get the creative juices flowing so to speak.

Inspiration strikes me at the best and worst of times, like you mentioned about being in a meeting but you feel inspired. I get hit with inspiration in the shower, when i'm talking to other people, when i'm out by myself, when i'm sleeping, I have to suddenly get up and scribble down the words onto paper otherwise I will forget. I have given up self-harming which is really difficult, but I don't know an alternative way to write, because I write well when i'm depressed/suicidal/or mutilating myself.I feel like I need to be in some kind of emotional or physical pain, to be able to write in a way that helps me to vent my frustration.

Making small talk is so boring, but essential when your getting to know someone.Since I meetup with a friend yesterday, and we were hanging out and getting to know each other and went to see a film at the cinema, then he drove me home. However my other friend is jealous, and assumed that me and my friend were doing more than just meeting up with each other. He is depressed and relys on my to support him, but I can't take it anymore, so that's why I meetup with my friend, so I would have someone I could meet in person and talk to. Why do I have to be the person that is burdened by his problems. He always acts as if he is the only person in the world that has problems, but I have my own problems, and he is making me feel depressed and worthless. Why can't I have friends besides just him? He isn't my boyfriend, so what is his problem? Whenever I have friends there is always a lot of drama. :/ I am 25, I am going to go back to college to get a maths qualification, that I need. I love reading/poetry, music, films/tv, going to the cinema. Yes to other people is uncomfortable and draining, that's why I like some time to myself after spending time with friends. I feel anxious/nervous around people, especially if there is a group of people. I am not currently working, but if I was I would probably plan to go out with people after work, things like that.

Hi, are there any creative introverts here?
Where do you get your inspiration from?
What/who inspires you?

I am a creative introvert, but I need inspiration..

Hi, I just wanted to know how you can make friends when your an introvert? Like most introverts, I find it difficult to talk to people, to even be around people is a lot to ask sometimes..
I feel, the quiet social anxiety most introverts feel for most of their life.

I like being an introvert, but sometimes it has it's disadvantages. People easily misinterpret things about you, especially if your a shy and quiet introvert.
