have a social life

seems impossible, but i’ll give it a try

Having social anxiety has always affected my life to some degree, but now it seems to be a wee-bit out of control. Ive pretty much lost all of my friends, and meeting new people and making new friends has always been the hardest part of my life. I guess hanging out with a manic depressive with social anxiety isnt as much fun as people make it out to be. Im really going to push myself this year to go out and be more social, and try to make a new friend every now and then.

i think life is a little bit lonely when you dont have a social life.in a way,i think social life gives more color to our personal life…

i am sick and tired of being shy i am 16 and i have never had a girlfriend before, because i am too shy to ask a girl out. I like this girl at school but i am too afraid to approach her and start a little conversation with and then ask for her number. plz help me wit this.

Anyone can! Woohoo! :D

many encounters i’ve had in trying to have a social life include talking to strangers. most often i am out of my league and cant keep up the convo due to my homebody nature. But as i learn to meet new people i now have more interesting things to say, i have gotten better. i am surprised at how my skill have really improved from the first atempt.

however the homebody in me makes it so easy to just stays home on weekends. i can be lazy enough to not make any effort or some times wish some sort of action or invitation would approach me for a change.

I had a social life at one time. Then I got married and started spending all of my time at home with my wife. (She didn’t ever want to go out so I lost touch with everybody.) Then I got divorced and moved to a new city. Now I know very few people and the people I know don’t seem to want to do anything with me. I really need to make some friends here. Before I was married, I had a group of people that I saw or at least talked to every day. Now, people who call themselves my close friends don’t return my calls for weeks. Staying home alone gets very boring very fast. Sometimes it can get unbearable. I have friends and they always tell me “You do have friends. You have us.” and so-on but we never actually do anything together. They always have other plans. I’m horrible at meeting people. I need to relearn that whole small-talk thing. Sometimes I feel kind of desperate.

I quit my job and gained a social life. Imagine that.

I thought that I wanted to have a few friends and go out and be social with them but it looks like things didn’t turn out that way. I have got a bit of a social life now which only involves a bit of dancing on a Friday night but it is better than how I used to spend my whole life at home.

My best friend (and one of the two people I talk to on a daily basis) says I need to get out of my shell. Here’s hoping! DX
