Break down your emotional problems into one liners... [View all]

Here's an exercise I just thought of. Break down your emotional issues into a single group of one liners. The fewer words you can use while still coming close to capturing most of your issues the better. Mental health issues are complex beasts involving many different facets; positive and negative feedback loops, your living conditions and financial situation, the people you live with, your past, your family, and much more all play integral roles. But for the sake of this thread forget about all of that. Try to take your core issues and distill them down into a handful of catch phrases or recognized diagnosed conditions.

For me my problems are:

Social Anxiety
Avoidant Personality
Perfectionism
Approval seeking
Depression

-----------

Secondary issues that arise from these primary ones include

Timidity and fear of rejection
Procrastination
Emotional Immaturity

What are your core issues and possibly secondary ones?
