i really want to make friends,want to find talking to people,socializing fun,but i am really feeling mad/sad that i don’t know how can i do these

You could invite a friend to hang out and play video games?

I started gaming back when you had to buy a $2K computer to play.
I got addicted as life got harder, and playing was easy.
I know if the internet was around when I was in school, I never would have graduated.
Back then you actually had to talk to people face to face! Scary!

Cured when my husband got a very bad virus from a Russian dating site that infected all our computers!
I became totally scared that the Russians had infected our router, so I was afraid to connect a computer to it.

i played game with my brother,in real life,but the anxiousness overcome the fun,lol

it remind me how bad my social skills/social anxiety is,even gaming is anxious with people around,what the hell…

Just remember social skills take practice. You can’t become good at socialising without trying

I was addicted to Everquest years ago. It was bad, I wish I had those years(literal years) back. The only way I was able to quit was cold turkey.

I wish I could be addicted to gaming again. Schizophrenia has made me not want to play anything. I get tired of what I’m playing and just want to lie down after 5 minutes.
