Have you come out of your shell?

I feel as I get older I am more eager to meet new people. I am still very shy but time goes along and I have changed a lot through the years and I am lonely too. I hope I can become more sociable with time.

Shortly after my mom died in 2016, I slowly started coming out of my shell after being cooped up in my house for ten years after graduating high school. I met new people, and I can honestly say that every interaction I have had with people in the past five years has been hollow. People have done nothing but try and take advantage of me, trying to get me to buy them things, and only pretending to be my friend in order to use me.

I am now deciding to return back into my shell like a turtle that has said screw this, I'm done.

@Bri89 That really is how people are though. I wish the reality were better.

@CestManan You are right. It is sad.
