I won't lie. I do feel incredibly awkward, even just writing this. But I trust that those of you will get this, or at least understand.
I have quite bad social anxiety, and because of that, have found it so, so stupidly difficult to make new friends. I always feel like there is something so very wrong with me when I struggle so much doing something that everyone else seems to do so naturally.
I won't go on about the "why's" but in recent years I've lost a few friends, mainly due to my moving about. But now I find myself feeling quite lonely.
I am weirdly shy when I meet new people, but everyone who does get to know me finds it such a switch when I become myself around them more.
The friends I do have are awesome, but I feel like they see my Anxiety as something they must avoid, and maybe it makes them feel nervous or awkward.
I'm 24 year old woman and I live in Shropshire. I'm a total geek, for lack of a better word, I love Gaming, comics, High fantasy and Sci-fi. I'm also heavily into spiritualism, I love Tarot readings, Ghost hunts and reading books about that sort of thing, I'm actually a trained Holistic therapist :3
I felt like I should at least explain myself a little bit seeing as I'm trying to make some new friends.
It would be cool to have online friends, and even better to make some gaming buddies and perhaps some I can meet up with.
Feel like I'm TOTALLY rambling now!
So, sorry about that!
Bee :3
