I don't drink anymore and I'm broke... so I don't go out to bars anymore. The problem is, I am really longing for company, friendship, and something more. I have a bit more time on my hands since I recently quit my job (although I'm hoping that all my applications will lead to a new job soon!), and there are a lot of cool things to do here in Fort Collins. The problem is, I have trouble meeting people. I'm scared and I always seem awkward and say things that are stupid... or odd... or just plain wrong. Befriending people doesn't exactly come easily to me. I want to make friends and it would be nice to be in a relationship with a guy that (for once) lasted longer than 8 months. And if I am to be brutally honest... I am horny. All the time these days. Nothing other than physical interaction with someone else seems to do it for me. It really sucks to be lonely and horny, especially when you're also broke and looking for work. In case anyone is wondering, yes I am on a dating website, but I've had very little luck. So, I'm asking how to make friends when you have social phobia? Seems like it should be easy, but for me, it's one of the hardest things ever...
