Hi everyone! My name is H and I'm a 24-year-old girl from Finland. I was searching forums about loneliness and came across this forum. And this place seems perfect for me
I have been very shy my whole life and because of that it has always been very difficult for me to get to know people. I used to have some friends but for whatever reason (teenage?) we didn't really get along anymore. So I was left alone. Since then (for about nine years) I haven't really had any friends. I haven't really done anything, I'm just mostly home alone. I do have my family and I'm extremely grateful for that but I do also miss people my age to spend time with. Lately I've been trying to be more active, leave the house more often. I'm so sick of this loneliness it kind of gives me strenght to change things and be more brave. I still have a long way to go but I do believe that some day I will be more self-confident and less alone. I know I'm always going to be shy - it's a part of my personality and that's okay - but some day it won't control and define my life so much.
I have spoken to my family about my loneliness over and over but I don't think they really understand how bad I truly feel about that. That's why I'm happy I found this place! I really need people to talk to, people who know what I'm talking about. So nice to meet you all!
