I cant make any friends either and I am not shy, just socially retarded, cant keep my head in the conversation...but if you are shy you have better chances, take a chance and talk to someone? Try to meet someone from the itnernet?

It's easy to make friends here on PC. I'm terrible in social situations also. I avoid them as much as possible. But here since it's not face to face I've really met some great people. Welcome to PC!

I've been in and out a shyness rut, too. Ultimately, if you are sick to death of it enough, you may just start taking chances and start speaking up for yourself. I know the anxiety that comes with being in the room packed with strangers and everybody talking at the same time! Have a seed of courage and hold on to it. "Hello" is a good place to start. From my experience, people love to be asked questions about themselves. We're all human, friend.

"I am not shy, just socially retarded"
I can't even describe how much i identify with that statement, Hoasis. In fact I'm pretty sure i said it just last week. |

i can totally relate to how you're feeling. i want to make more friends too but i don't know how. i'm really shy and basically, i'll only talk to someone if they approach me first. and i don't really put myself out there too much because... well, where am i going to go all alone to meet people? i feel so lonely sometimes and i feel like no one would care (or even notice) if i suddenly disappeared. it makes me sad

coleychi, you essentially described me in a nutshell.
It's a very lonely life. I feel like it isn't fair to say we don't 'want' to socialize. I see that assumption a lot. I do want to. I want so badly to have friends, to know how to react adequately, to get things. But I don't get things, so I don't know how. If any of you need to talk.. my inbox is open, too. __________________ Love is..

I went to a social anxiety support group recently, I was a little nervous at first but everyone was very friendly, accepting and wanted to hear what I had to say. I'm looking forward to the next group. I wish everyone had social anxiety/APD.. it would make life a lot easier!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
