If you want some you can make new friendships though

I find it really hard to trust people.

Well work on your trust issues first then it may help

Just keep on chatting & posting on here - there are loads of would-be friends on this forum - & maybe you'll find you gel with a few who you can talk to off-forum too.

Me neither! It's sad but that's what social anxiety does to you! I don't find it hard to trust but I just no longer know how to talk to people. All my old friends were formed at the beginning of school when I was little so I really have no experience in making friends! I suppose we have to work on our anxiety first to gain confidence and hopefully things will work out from there. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself, just concentrate on getting better first. Easier said than done eh!

I've lost a lot of mine due to not going out when invited because I don't feel up to it. Now I just don't get invited!

Anxiety shows you who your true friends are, though. And the others are right - there are plenty of people here who can fill that void :)
