I have always been shy. I'm 23 and at about 15 I came down with a serious case of social anxiety. So bad I had to leave public highschool and be homeschooled. Not only because I had anxiety but because I couldn't relate to ANYONE! I just couldn't take the drama and the immatureness of highschool. I admit now that it was a mistake as I missed out of alot of social skills prom..trips... etc.
It got better with years though. I've had good jobs made friends.
Lost my BEST friend 3 years ago christmas eve to a drunk driver.
She was my CLOSEST friend the one who understood me the most.
I'll never have a friend like her again. Since all of my "friends" have moved on with their lives and sad to say none of them are too successful. Not people you should be around....
So Im alone. It's SO hard to make friends! I feel like im desperate!
Came out of an EXTREMELY abusive relationship about 2 1/2 years ago. Started dating another guy who eventually became my boyfriend. He's a great guy. We just broke up before Christmas.
We were together 2 years and I am SO insecure and have SO much anxiety I never came around to meet his family!
I feel unworthy like a big joke! I have NO friends SMALL family. and socially disabled!
As you can see this has totally ruined my chances at a happy life! What can I do?????????? I tried medication Im not depressed...I didn't like how i made me feel...
