I voted two (sorry if I messed up the poll) I like socialising online, I’m good at that, socialising in real life, I’ve never been good at it and I’m very awkward; and since I was 16 it’s frightened me an awful lot, to me, people are a threat, at least those in my immediate environment (besides my family). I get scared an awful lot but I can do it, and I’m actually alright with strangers (I worked in a charity shop and was good with the customers), it’s those who I know view me too closely for my liking, or will get to know me that I fear, I fear I will get them hurt through my thoughts (I’m trying to get through my bigger delusions but, I fear they may always be there). Or that they may turn on me when they find out who I am.
But I’m doing it, I’m scared stupid, but I’m doing it . I just know that I can’t cope with too much at a time.
I was never included in any social outings or get togethers or even in any mere conversations during my five years of college (nursing school). Believe it or not, it’s true @Skims. Not even once.
I only have one friend and I doubt her honesty, loyalty and sincerity a lot. I don’t know how we have stayed together all these years. Only one answer to that but unfortunately I can’t repeat it.
I have no idea how to make other friends and I don’t even want to anymore.
