I'm not a particularly religious person, so church isn't really for me. As for the drug and alcohol thing, I know better than that (especially with my family history) even though I'm starting to feel like even that would be better than what I have now.

I've thought about joining some kind of club or group, but I have no idea where to start. I feel like I'm getting to old to make friends. Sometimes I just feel like my time has past. I had my chance and it flew right past me. Other times I feel like I'm still 12 years old, since that's about how much life experience I have.

Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll see what happens when and if I ever go back to school or get a job, even though neither of those things have really helped in the past. I might (hopefully) be going to see a therapist soon, so maybe they can pinpoint if it is social anxiety or what.

Anyone else have any thoughts? I'd like to hear as many opinions as possible.
