@Joker- whats wrong with that?
@Cameron- time to leave?
@all- don’t expect so much
Same. I wasn’t like this until middle school when I was shunned, and in high school I totally isolated. I feel for you @SkinnyMe.

I have difficulties socialising too but I seem to be able to chat a little with the people I volunteer work with.
The ladies I volunteer with on Fridays are so patient and kind and keep showing me the same simple work task over and over because I keep forgetting.
I feel awkward or felt awkward around one woman I volunteer with at another place because she wanted power of me and to suppress me?then it seemed like she backed off n gave me space and I then felt more comfortable around her.not comfortable but way better.
I am better socially than I used to be because I am stable and well now.i am doing really well.
I used to be unable to leave my apartment because of the voices etc and could not talk to people because paranoia, voices, delusions and then just delusions.
I am uncomfortable around family too.
I think that’s because some in my family want power over me and try suppressing me and it feels really awful and upsets me and makes me uncomfortable even with a parent or sibling who hate me but may have a tiny touch of love too.
I have poverty of speech sometimes and specially with some people.
I used to have it with everyone but now that I’m so much better only with some people.
I literally go speechless 
.
I remember once I was sitting down drawling and unable to answer simple questions and saliva running down my chin.that was such a horrid feeling.
I can suffer so much being social and I avoid socialising even with my own family.
I have difficulties going to some places too n transporting myself to different places is very difficult or limited to where I can n can’t go.
Being socially awkward sucks.
I was socially awkward as a child and teen and Adult but I’m better now because I’m stable on medication.
It is such a awful feeling.
Same time I long to socialise.crave it in a way.want it.want to have friends to hang out with and even be able to chat with strangers etc
Maybe I’m social in spirit👻.
But yeah I’ve had all kinds of weird horrid feeling social difficulties and it sucks and I have also isolated and schizophrenia made me isolate from everyone for years n years I avoided even my closest because of symptoms.
It’s so good to be better but I still have some difficulties socially.
What a joy to be able to laugh together with people.
I had years with no laughter and only recently was able to laugh but I do t laugh that often and mainly laugh by myself and not with others but I would love to laugh with others.i remember I have laughed with others it’s not as if it has never ever happened.
I believe I laugh with my friends n best friends in spirit 
sometimes.
My best friends are funny but we do not have contact in person as they are my spirit👻friends.
I don’t think they are imaginary friends.i think they are real.the man I thought was the funniest man in the world n he thought the same about me , the woman I don’t laugh with as much but adore her.
Wishing us precious moments of good socialising.
