making friends

[Gemm]

Hello.
How do you make friends when you live with anxiety? I hold down a job and know people but i don't have any close friends. I have lived with anxiety for about fifteen years and don't really like to go out and do activities with other people. I have been in my job for two years but don't like to tell people about my problems. My partner knows and we are very close. Do people with anxiety not make close friendships?What does anyone else think???

Hi Gem
I have recently moved soalthough i dont have many friends here where i live well none really. In my hometown i have loads and keep in contact via msn( i couldnt live without it and this site of course) and visit whenever posssible. Do you not have any friends at work? I also work and have been for a year at this job and must say they know of my problem but arnt sympathetic at all. Do you like going to the cinema? dont have to face people there .Sorry if im not much help. You take care and feel free to message me anytime ok?
