This weekend was a long weekend in Canada, and every May long for the last 6 years I go to Keycon, a sci-fi / fantasy convention. I look forward to it weeks in advance. Yet, every year no matter how much I enjoy it, it leaves me feeling empty & alone. And I get why that happens, because everyone else is paired up or pairing up, because my sister is a social butterfly everyone fondly remembers and seeks out and I’m just that girl who’s always with her. But I don’t know how to change it. I don’t know how to break out of this prison I’ve built for myself where I hesitate and second guess everything I say until I’m socially paralyzed. I’m 33 and I feel like I’m 13 and can’t talk the boy I have a crush on & the popular girls intimidate me. I’ve never been great at the social stuff but over the years it’s like I’ve lost any skills I ever had. I just don’t understand how it happened, how I let it happen, how I can fix it.

((ClareFae)))) one step at a time if you can.
Be you as thats the only person you can be. Its hard being alone. Try going out to places that you like remember depression tells you some of these things. |
