Do you have trouble forming connections to other people?

I struggle to form attachments to people, make connections, and have friends. I’ve also struggled with social anxiety most of my life.

To a certain degree. I function socially awkward when I’m around people I don’t know. I’m really bad at taking initiative to get to know strangers.

I think it’s part of my personality, but I also think the drugs excacerbate it.

Yes I struggle with social anxiety. Working in the night when there is very few people around helps me.

It takes me a very long time to trust that my friends are real friends. I’m always assuming they’ll realize I’m not good enough to be their friend, and they’ll just ghost me one day

Ive always dealt with this exact thing. Even when i do get close to people, this is something i get when i meet new people.

I have been dealing with shyness all my life. After getting sick realized it was social anxiety.
I have not improved bit in social skill.

I’ve given up trying to form connections with others. I saw everyone’s true colours when I was at my worst, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I don’t have social anxiety, and I can small talk and get along with most people, I get along fine with people at work and the neighbours. But I don’t really have any connections with people other than my parents i guess. I have no friends and no gf.
