my battle with social anxiety is going on about 7 years now. i've been able to make considerable progress. however, going up to strangers and making friends is something that is alot harder to conquer than i care to admit. it really sucks looking at my friends going to clubs, having social lives and i can, honestly, barely talk to the few friends that even care to be around me. obviously we're all here to voice are discomforts but i really wanna know, "how can i make friends, when i virtually have no social life or anything to bring to the table when making friends?"
i mean when im not around my friends, i go to places alone and at least hope that ill find someone i can shoot the breeze with. even at my job im forced to interact with people and, maybe its just me, but i feel like when i talk to em or try to help them with something in the store, its like they repel me. i hate it. i know i got alot to offer the world, but i don't know how to show it.
does anyone else feel this way? if so, how do you combat it?
