Hello All

I am a 26 year old guy from Melbourne Australia. Over the last couple of years i have been dealing with depression, social anxiety, agoraphobia and occasional episodes of hypocondria. Even though most people would say i have a reasonably good life from the outside, deep down i am very sad and lonely
so i decided to join this forum with the hope of finding some really kind friends

I do have msn messenger, so if you want my address just send me a pvt message and i will give it to you

Hope to hear from you all

P.

Im from the states. I am really just social phobic. I haven't been officially diagnosed, but i feel like a textbook example (bad eye contact, avoidance of social situations, constantly worrying being awkward) Like i can spend hours and hours agonizing over making a simple phone call, i have trouble at times leaving the house-always feel like im being stared at when im in public.
I actually like people, I do, I just can't always feel comfortable around them.

So phobias- old people, young people, fat people, skinny people, tall people, short people, and anybody inbetween I think that covers it :D

i do get worried about the fact that i am 26 years old and have very few friends.... it's much harder to make good friendships as one gets older so i can feel the clock ticking for me

^ Yeah sure is! Can definately see that happening.. i'm only 20 but still it does get harder each year to find a friend... boo for us, too bad you live in melb not syd.. or vise versa.

I do love melbourne though, i only been there once but it was really nice. Do you go out much there?

I have the fortune of living right in the CBD so my work it s only a 5 minute walk. I do go out occasionally for dinner or to the movies, i just hope i could solve all of my problems and be like everyone else
