Does anyone else find it really hard to make/keep friends?
I find myself alone most often because I never let people get close enough to call a me real friend or vice versa. Because I'm depressed I'm not even motivated to socialize with people because I've grown accustomed to socialization ending in pain and rejection. I know that friends are important though, and something that I need for my own personal happiness. However I am a very socially inept person and come off negatively in the presence of others. In other word people don't like me, and Iv'e darn near accepted this as fact.Sadly I've adjusted to love being alone and hate being lonely.

*With that said I must also acknowlage that I am blessed that this is one of my biggest problems and realize that many of you a true soldiers for pressing on in much more trying circumstances.
