I Don't Have Any Friends

because I don’t talk to anyone. I don’t exhibit an approachable body language. I don’t talk unless someone asks me a question or I have something important to say. I also like to keep my life private. I’m bored of talking about my life while someone else can view my life as interesting. I also don’t invite anyone to eat or do an activity together. If I’m under pressure to talk about myself at a personal level, I freeze up and I can’t think of anything to say. When I feel comfortable, words come out naturally, I feel relaxed or energetic, I’m open and honest, I don’t filter what I say or do, the conversations are enjoyable, silences are comfortable, and I pay attention to the person I’m speaking with.

@keikokusanagi I appreciate the rant. It's alright to let it out.

@Mahjack When I feel comfortable, I'm open while I talk to someone. I'll talk a lot if I'm talking about topics that interest me. I'm quiet if I feel content and want to listen. I want to be more comfortable talking to people. The reason I'm not comfortable is because I'm afraid of being judged negatively, not being understood, being laughed at, being made fun of, not knowing what to say or ask, and being taken advantage of. I'm aware that I must not care about how I'm perceived. It doesn't matter what people think of me. However, I'm afraid of the discomfort and pain I can feel if I'm bothered by what anyone thinks of me. I'm still working on desensitizing myself from ridicule or negative remarks. The more exposure I have with people who interact with me negatively, the more immune I am to their hurtful comments. The more exposure I have with people who interact with me positively, the more I believe there are people who treat others with kindness, respect, and compassion.
