I Struggle With Mental Illness

Is why I find it so hard to get close to people. I have anxiety disorder and social anxiety. I always assume people won't like me or will think I'm weird. In a way, people scare me. I actually really like people it's just difficult interacting. I dont feel anxious online I wish I was the same in real life.
I feel misunderstood by everyone. Mainly my family.

I can relate 100%. I have to constantly self talk and remind myself I am cared about and people wouldn't invite me or stay beside me talking if they didn't want to be there. I know it's easier online, and you might be a bit more shy, but you're the same person. You're welcome here, and valued here. I know that must be true in the real world as well.
