Inside im a very friendly person, but my s.a.d smothers it.

By nature i believe im a friendly person, easy to get along with and with a great sense of humor.But my disorder makes me nervous around people and not very confident in speaking to them.I hate feeling muzzled so to speak by this problem.Even with my new friend i met in march at the life skills course, i find myself nervous around him to some extent.I do joke about with him, i often just say silly stuff like i pretend i talk like an ewok or mimic a east indian accent lol.But i still feel kind of leashed by my anxiety disorder, in that i still dont feel confident in conversing with him etc.

I also feel the same exact way. I feel like I'm a very friendly person and that I could be a really good friend if only given the chance. I feel like I'm always the one kind of hunting for friends, yet it seems like no one really approaches me or trys to be friends with me, and I just don't understand because I feel that I'm very friendly and open.
