Lack of social life and OCD

[Stuckman]

Hi everyone
I would like to talk to someone understanding mainly about OCD and lack of friends and social life before I go back to university.

These are issues which are really bad and prominent for me at the moment and I haven't felt as lonely now than ever. I would like to talk to someone around my age (19) if possible about similar experiences, or someone that could make me feel better about myself.

Thanks!

Stuckman, could you tell us more about your problems? If people can relate they are more likely to answer you.

Just about having a lack of social life that is caused by my OCD and also mild aspergers.
I feel trapped in routine and obsessions, and I'm afraid to make a social life for myself as I am anxious about meeting other people because I feel like I have to be by myself most the time due to my aspergers, and feel paranoid that people might want something from me if I try and make friends.
I feel the years tick by and I'm just an observer watching everyone else grow and develop their social lives, where I'm afraid to live my own life and feel trapped. I feel like I'm wasting my life as a young person. And I am unhappy at home.

If I can talk to someone it will be most appreciated.

I know its been a while since I made this post but I really would like to talk to someone as I feel by doing so I would feel much better. You wouldn't have to be my counselor or anything To narrow it down I was wondering if there's anyone who maybe didn't have the best university/social life like me.
Let me know
Thanks!
