I think I still have one sorta friend but that is all.

I am very shy, I isolate myself, I have a hard time trusting ppl, anxiety issues, and sleepy due to medications.

And I think I may also have a social phobia of sorts. I tense up when I am in public and kinda scared of my own shadow to some extent.

I have a pottery course starting up mid-April till mid-June. As you probably know if you have spoken to me here on PC I love to talk about animals/pets. I would like to broaden the topics of conversation so that I don't come across as odd or strange.

How do I come out of my shell? How do I find friends with mutal interests and temperments? How do I keep friends with my ongoing medical issues such as anxiety and sleepiness?
