I want to thank you, have hope, for starting this thread. It helped me so much to read everyone's experiences with friendships. I'm unable to form friendships. I'm an introvert and not much of a talker so I'm boring to be around. Also I'm in an isolated situation so there aren't people to connect with anyway.
I think I have anti-charisma. My father was the same. I was feeling pretty desperate until I read this thread and felt that there are others who feel like I do. So. Thank you.
