Hey mae what about your pigeon feeding friend
Don’t worry be happy
No, I don’t quite feel the same way. I realised that a small amount of anxiety in relationships is a normal and healthy and good thing. It reminds me that I care about other people. I care about their opinion of me, and that infers that I care about myself too. I value the connection / relationship and I fear losing it.
What is important to me is increasing my tolerance for anxiety, and taking the right action when I am anxious. For example, last week my friend was sad and I pushed them to explore some difficult feelings. The next day I was anxious that i’d pushed them too far. So I acted on my anxiety, to apologise and check if they were ok.
Without anxiety I would not have checked if they were ok. I would have seemed like I didn’t notice or care. So I am glad that I had some anxiety.
You can be friends with ur roommates 
I’m in the same boat. Covid didn’t help things either…

I think I’m sad cos I miss my brother
I’m used to seeing him around
I live far from them now and I don’t enjoy that travel
Plus the government have an ongoing case on me atm
I’m just quite stressed and I guess that is trigerring the depression too
Sorry to hear that @anon40973946
My anxiety is of a type where I don’t know how to my myself when I’m around ppl trying to make new friends and it is upsetting and sort of distressing

I have two irl friends that are a little older than me but still great people. I had to fight through my anxiety and my dad called me a chicken ass once bc I didn’t go over to their house for supper though I went afterwards and realized that everything I was afraid of just isn’t true.
So now that I have gotten to know them and I shared some of my life with I feel it is now worth it.
One thing I learned, through therapy, is that when someone asks what you beep up to it’s important not to simply say, “nothing” but actually tell them your interests or accomplishments or whatever it is. This shows you are open and are willing to establish a sense of trust.
But I’ve met many pissers who don’t deserve when iota of attention from me so reading people is an important skill to learn.
