okay so here it goes

hello. im so glad i found this site , recently i found something out about my self , i have social anxiety and i have had it for as long as my memorys goes back, and now i am currently 21 ...... i am an only child , and my mother verbally abused me as a child and still does , i use to cut to relieve my feelings instead of talking because my mothers moved us hundreds of miles away from any family so i am close to no one, i always thought i was weird and awkward because idk what to say or i am always asking myself are they talking about me ? do they like me, i was so nervous as a child. and i just brushed it off as being too high off weed when i got into highschool, currently i am not cutting and am trying very hard to have friendships but it is always akward because i am so quiet or i can only talk upon one thing .... thats my intro

I'm so sorry about your past, but know that whatever your mother says about you isn't true. And, if you need a friend, then we'll be more than welcome to be yours:). Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome, qg. Fellow only child here. ;) It sucks that you've had to endure all that, but hopefully being here will help you. A lot of people on this forum struggle with social anxiety. Reading their stories and experiences has helped me feel a little less weird about mine. In any event, if you have any questions, want advice or just need someone to listen, we're here for you. :)
 
Hey Quietgirl, I'm so sorry to hear your story! You must be a very strong woman. I really hope things will get better for you and you will make some awesome friends to help you through this bad time. SPW is a very good place, i've heard ;)
