Hi all it's good to find a site like this, to hear others stories, it makes me feel better to know there are people worse off and also good just hear people think the same! it's so funny and kinda ignorant I guess to think your the only person like this!
Anyway I'm an 18 yr old guy from Australia and have been shy since I was a kid, about age 7 I reckon not long after my parents divorced, before that I was a well adjusted and outgoing kid and suddenly things changed and I become anxious and awkward with making friends and just lost touch with how to properly interact. Over the years it got worse and I suffered alot of bullying and ultimately became depressed by high school and contemplated suicide many times until I was 15 and decided to not let this destroy me and I have been slowly (and often painfully) becoming adjusted, learning social skills and coming out of my shell. I'm still nowhere near what I want to achieve as I am still anxious and nervous inside. Anyway enough rambling, time to get stuck into the forums!
