I know that seem silly. I have lived in this apt for 2yrs got used to all the people - just recently two people moved out and new people moved in. Now i am so afraid I will have a panic attack and my safe place is no longer safe if that made sense???

Yes! We moved to a new neighborhood, they are still building here. I went from having one neighbor to 3 streets full of homes. I have lots of windows. when upstairs, all the people living behind us can see into our house and we can see into theirs, it freaks me out. I don't go up there unless I have to.

I miss my old house and my old neighbors. But I'm slowly getting use to the new surroundings.

Have you met the new neighbors yet? The more I said hi and made small talk with my neighbors directly to the side of me, the more comfortable I got with them. I'm still nervous talking to people but it is not all consuming like it was at the beginning. Try introducing yourself if you can. It really does help to put names with faces.

Yeah it's hard when you change locations. Glad you are getting used to surroundings!!

social anxiety makes it hard for me to introduce myself.
