I Need A Mentor

Hello,
my name is Phoebe, and first of all, I appologize for my english, as it's not my native language.

I've always been struggling with the social events, finding friends, communication etc. As far as I can remember, I've wished for someone older (particularly a father figure, as my father never talked to me much) I could ask how to react in social situations, as I never understood how a community and relationships work. But as I felt ashamed, I never asked for help, because everyone seems to "get" these things intuitive - like, how to recognize if someone is a friend, after how many meetings you call it a friendship, when is the right time to share something personal with another person, how does group dynamics work, how to know when is my time to talk in a conversation (as I often jump into the speech of someone else or there are silent breaks) and so on.

So I'm looking for someone I could ask all these strange questions and who would be willing to take some time. Thank you:)

I get where you're coming from. I've isolated myself from being social. I'm trying to change that now. Yea in today's generation it's some times the meaning of friendships can be blurred because what is considered a friend today? Is it someone who you meet up to hang with frequently or someone you can just simply have a texting conversation.

Feel free to message. I have had a ton of social anxiety. Still do but I can hold a conversation when needed in situations.

Sure. I struggled with the same thing. Still have to work at it.

But if you practice at it, you can be quite successful.
