i hate social anxiety. i havent had it in a long time but this year and last it seems to be getting worse. i was trying to "embrace my loneliness" which was working until i went to class the last couple of days.
i think some of it is im just older and im expecting to be able to relate to younger people. i think i forget im older sometimes.
so i was just wondering, for all you out there that are 18-22 yrs old, is it weird to socialize with someone that is 30 yrs old? I saw a women that was probably in her 40's hanging out with a bunch of 20 yrs old. the older lady was acting like the kids. i was so embarrassed for her, but at the same time i understand why she did that. it might actually be kind of weird for me to try and socialize with younger kids. ive tried to talk to a couple of girls and they'll give me one word answers, but that's about it. not in all cases, but in most. so i was just curious. i have made a couple of friends, but they were older and i dont have classes with them anymore. im going to a church this sunday with older people. maybe i'll have some luck there.
