Unfortunately it's one of those things that take multiple days to complete @CheerBear. So I temporarily found a way to unstick one part of the thing, but am still stuck in other ways. I've already spent a week on it and it's really got nowhere. 😞

Well done for filling the jerry can today @CheerBear! 😄 That's awesome and I'm very impressed that you overcame the fear of doing it and asked for tips at Bunnings. Here's some chocolate spiders as a congratulations and well-done treat 🙂
You're right that I do sometimes struggle with doing things that it seems like other people do all the time. If you want a laugh, the one I now laugh the most about is that I once had a thing about ordering pizza for picking up, because I was worried about the aerodynamics of the box when carried along a busy road! I can now safely say that the wind vortex behind a car or van moving at 60km/h will not typically cause any significant gust to a pedestrian's pizza box.

Hi @TheVorticon and @CheerBear @Phoenix_Rising @Pepsimax @Former-Member
I'm so glad you started this thread because I can totally relate. You are not weird, perhaps just like me you often wonder why some people-in my case, at work-spend all day talking, about things that don't seem to be important ie: how many "friends" they might have on social media, what they posted on social media, what someone's opinion (usually a celebrity) is on social media, stuff that makes me wonder if they too are insecure?? Sometimes it seems like they talk for the sake of talking, like silence scares them. But then again, I just don't do people well. Despite being closer to 60 than 50 I just don't get adult behaviour. There are times I don't want to talk because I've got nothing to say, or I want to be left alone. I don't understand how some people can have a deep and meaningful conversation with someone they've just met. I totally freak out when someone I don't know or someone's voice scares me on the counselling service I use. Just lately that happens all the time! I keep phoning but it's a hit and miss thing.

Today I tried to figure out how to help myself get back into participating in life, doing enjoyable things etc. I exhausted myself just reading/listening to the way I'm supposed to help myself. It feels hopeless. I don't believe I can do it.

How much longer of the work task do you think you will have left until you are through it? Or is this a really don't know about that kind of thing?
