I'm 24 and have grown up really shy around people. I don't really make friends.. not because i can't, but because I'm just so socially awkward, I don't put myself out there. I'm introverted and care too much about what other people think, I sometimes beat myself up over something stupid I might've said.

I recently started up a Facebook page, something I created and disabled 4 years ago. So many people use it these days (for various reasons), that it's slowly becoming a difficult thing to avoid. I'm hoping to keep my account open this time around, for hope that it may become a positive thing in the future.

Except, when i look over at other people's pages, I can't help but compare my empty life with theirs. I've got nothing to post in comparison to some, and what i do post, the audience is just not there for me.. feels like I'm talking to a wall, and it kinda hurts my feelings? My sister for example, is always taking these "selfies", and has a plethora of peeps! The sister i thought i once knew, is actually somebody i do not know at all..?

I'm friends with some family members, though I don't feel very close to them. I'm also friends with some people at my church.. though i do not go to church. Why do i feel like turning my back on Facebook, and why does my life feel so bloody insignificant? Where does a lonely person go to make friends, and where do they find others with similar interests?
