i can relate to what your going through i have suffered with social phobia and depression every since i can remember and being a hypersensitive person only intensify my suffering at times i feel lonely, isolated and unloved although i'm not i have my children and grandchildren and we're really close they have been my backbone and i thank god for them . both my parents are deceased and so is my husband i have other siblings but none of us are close i want to reach out to others in pain and in need of a friend and help them in ways that no doctor or therapist ever helped me but most often the fear gets the better of me i wish i could will myself out of feeling this way but it's not as easy as some might think.
