i can totally relate to how you're feeling. i want to make more friends too but i don't know how. i'm really shy and basically, i'll only talk to someone if they approach me first. and i don't really put myself out there too much because... well, where am i going to go all alone to meet people? i feel so lonely sometimes and i feel like no one would care (or even notice) if i suddenly disappeared. it makes me sad

i can totally relate to this. i feel so awkward about people and i don't enjoy socializing because i'm in my head the whole time worrying about how i'm appearing/if the other person lifes me/what to say next/saying the wrong thing. it's just not fun for me. and then it's awkward when people ask general questions like "what'd you do last weekend" because it's kind of lame to say "oh, you know, i didn't get out of bed because i was feeling depressed." i only have 3-4 "friends" (they're more like something between a friend and an acquaintance... like i wouldn't be able to call them at 2am crying) and my shyness makes it hard to meet new people
