Hi Ahmed, nice to meet you :-)

Hi, you sound a lot like me. I'm also socially awkward. If I know a social situation is coming up I start feeling anxious days beforehand. It has been great to find this forum where I don't feel like I'm the only one who feels this way 🙂

Hi I'd like to join please 🙂

No, but sometimes feel like a freak. I'm not what society would call 'normal' for my age and gender, I am not good in social situations and when some people know my history they keep me at arms length. But it's their problem and I am who I am. They can go on living in their bubble in ignorance...

Hi, nice to meet you too. I've sent you a PM 🙂

Hi Richard, thanks for replying. Bring on the thunder 😎 Hi, great to hear from you! I will message you 🙂

Hi, I'm from Australia

Hi, would love to make some new friends. I'm 43, Australian.... feeling a little  lonely (obviously, or I wouldn't be here 🙂). Male or female, any location. Feel free to send me a message and say hi.

Hi, I'm a 43 yo Australian female. It sounds strange but I've only recently realised I've been experiencing loneliness even though it's been with me for a long time. I am surrounded by people in my everyday life, but it's as if there's an invisible barrier between them and me. I was in an...
