I know I'm putting a strain on our relationship and to be honest he has been VERY understanding and patient with me, I am very lucky
I'm really nervous when I'm with people now... I think it's because I've been away from people my age so long (when I was ill I rarely got out) and now I'm just finding it hard to start from scratch, having to make new friends.
I've always been a very shy person around new people and I find it very daunting to do new things... I know they heave to be done though.
I'm on a waiting list to go to a confidence building class so hopefully that will help me build enough confidence to approach and talk to more people.
But making friends takes time, there are a couple of people I talk to but I'm not sure how to ask them to socialize outside of school (last year of college in England)...
and I'd like to go out, but I can't on my own (on a night) it's not safe for one

I know things aren't going to change overnight
