I Lost Friends

Another friendship ended. A chapter could be filled with how shitty this feels, but honestly empty seems the most appropriate description. When did friendships feel like grabbing just the right puzzle piece to fit the gap? Whatever happen to just having a buddy without worrying if they aren’t exactly perfect? It feels as though I’m never good enough. Honestly anymore creating new friends sound just about exciting as a flu shot.

You got this, expand the possibility of making friends with men(though be careful for the creepers). Wht are you in to, and then head to where you can find similar minded people

@hidingrighthere Girl or guy gender has never crossed my mind when making friends. Main obstacle has always been social anxiety.
@WolfMaiden You can just give me an age range, but I don't want to give you bad advice thinking you're 22, how old are you? As someone who has social anxiety(not as much anymore), there are a few pointers I can give you

@hidingrighthere Just turned 23 last month.
@WolfMaiden Ahhh, so school is out of the option. Alright, #1, recognize there isn't a straight 100% answer to solve social anxiety. There just isn't, however there are a few things you can do, for example, go do volunteer service/join some sort of organization. This is not(though it'll be great if it can) to make friends, but rather experiment and help deal with you social awkwardity. I remember I use to sell food at a food stand to help get over my social anxiety. If that's too hard, start with online friendships first. I used to talk to people on experience project to help develop/experiment with social topics with random users(also helped me talk with girls :P ). First start with text, then move upward to audio chat(perhaps via gaming, omegle, ect.), then video chat. This way, if you mess up, boom, you can get out without suffering any social repercussions. If you ever need to talk, I'll always be open for a chat :)

Thank you for the tips. If you need to talk to I'll be here. (Might be bit late responding though no promises.)
@WolfMaiden Hey hey hey, I said if you ever need to talk, I'll be here :P I'll probably bother you every now and then asking how you're doing

@hidingrighthere Okay 😆
