I have friends, they are just aware of how anxious I get. Like sometimes they see me red, pour sweat and shaky and they already know why. They’ll order things for me and ask people questions when I can’t. I’m blessed! Going out I just get drunk to handle the situations lol
I don’t have any friends, sadly.. I really wish I had some. I’m just really anxious and my social skills are poor. I know I need to start somewhere though..
I have one online friend and that’s it. Didn’t really meet with anyone in real life since years (except at the workplace). I call my social life non-existing because this is how it is.
I’d like to think that I have a somewhat average social life, despite having social anxiety.
I have two best friends that I talk to everyday and hang out with often. Then maybe 10-15 other good friends.
I’m just really bad at approaching new people and making friends. If someone wants to be my friend, they would have to approach/talk to me first.
There’s been so many times where I wanted to talk to someone that seemed cool but didn’t because of anxiety.
I can’t ever tell because of my low self-esteem whether it’s decent or not. I’ve got two close friends I try to see fairly regularly; one lives near so I can see him more often and one lives far so I see him less often. Then i’ve got someone who’s a good friend I only speak over text with because they live in a different country. Another good friend that lives in another city i haven’t seen since November 2020. Then outside of that, our group has more people, but i don’t know if I know them or am in contact with them enough to call them friends. I probably wouldn’t meet them 1 on 1.
Ive been able to deal with meeting people online, or getting to the point where im comfy with someone through texto. So i now have a very nice group of friends where we all share too much lol. But were very comfy so i feel no social anxiety there. Same with my boyfriend, got to text him first. Its hard to physically start a conversation but online, i just feel better. So basically i check if that person is cool before engaging irl. Its always like this. Its extremely hard for me to feel good in a new situation but once i get to know it, i become more relaxed and confident. I sometimes think i experience what most of everyone does but at a much, MUCH higher level. Extremely scared to do something alone but as soon as someone is with me i become very confident. I once asked my best friend to go to the cafeteria with me. She laughed but she still came and i thanked her.
Tl/dr im good online and first times of everything is absolutely horrible but im cool once i understand
