Hello all, good to be here.
Anyway, i guess i should say a little about myself and what brought me here. For the longest time i have known something was not right with me as i have never been able to interact on a social level in the way that most others seem to be able to do.
I have been like this ever since i was a child and i am now 28 and it only seems to get worse the older i get. I really only have one person who i would call a friend, i have no job(not for lack of trying), ive never had a girlfriend, i have no self-esteem or confidence and i find it incredibly difficult to make conversation or eye contact. I dont go out and wouldnt even know where or how to start.
I did once pluck up all the courage i had to go and speak to my doctor about it who made me an appointment with a psychologist but partly because in his opinion i wasnt depressed and partly because i find it very hard to communicate my feelings, he pretty much kicked me out immediately. My anxiety has left me with physical problems but theres not really much the doctor can do for me. This left me in a bad position because i KNOW there is something wrong with me but i dont know where to turn to for help, so i guess thats why i came here.
Thanks for reading and i hope to read and write plenty more in these forums.
