Hey there, I just registered

[Leapfrog00]

Hey all, I just signed up tonight. I have intense social anxiety, so I figured it may be a little easier for me here. I posted one thread already, though I'm not good at opening up. I do a lot of writing, so I'm more used to writing books than writing about my feelings. Anyway, I'm glad I found this place.

Welcome to the forum. I hope this place helps you out.

I just read that thread of yours, and while I no longer like to share much about my self publicly there's a lot there I can relate to. The anxiety, feeling like a loser, not having much in life, health issues, all things I know too well. I do some writing myself on rare occasions, though it's just simple poetry about how I'm feeling.

Anyway, I'm sure you didn't come here to hear me ramble, so welcome to the forum.

Hey, thanks. No, it's cool. Yeah, I think I'll be more comfortable here, hopefully. I mean, when I try to talk about something with a person when I do get the chance, the social anxiety holds me back from saying what I really want to say, even in therapy. Thanks for replying.

Believe me I get that all too well. There are far too many times where I can't say exactly what I want to say because of the anxiety. It doesn't matter who I'm talking to either, it could even be someone I'm comfortable talking to and it still happens. I feel like it's held me back in life if I can be honest.

Welcome! I hope you can feel more relaxed and comfortable by talking to others on the forum versus in person. So glad that you joined us.

Run. This site has gone off the user first and friendly rails. But come back and let others know when you find a better one. This is your quest. I know, no Lord of the Harry Potter in the War of the Stars, but someone had to, and I'm too old, tired, and lazy. Go with whatever semi spiritual thing you choose.

Ok, ignore most of that. I'm an idiot.
