I basically just think I have a lot of walls up [emoji14] and it doesn't help my situation with making friends! It's also easy to get drowned out by others who may be louder and more sociable!
I definitely identify with much of this. It's good you are aware of your thought processes through this, self esteem and self compassion both sound relevant and those are both usually fixable. Good luck!
Thanks for this!
