    Hey there. I am extremely shy and struggle to make friends. In 'real life' I can't do small talk and I've basically become a hermit due to depression and anxiety.

    I'm hoping to find some friends within this community and a sense of belonging.

    Hiya. I know the feel. I'm on medication for depression/anxiety myself.

    This community, in my experience of being here, is incredibly welcoming. Even if it seems a bit hard and intimidating at first, there's always someone who's there to listen.

    And, speaking of, I'm incredibly open to conversation. Even though I'm not the best at getting back at a reasonable time, you are 150% free to talk on my wall or whatever if you want. I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can on there. And I'm more than happy to meet new friends :slight_smile:

    Hello NerdByNature. I'm glad you joined this community. There is a lot of positive energy in this forum. A lot of people are shy, so you're not alone. I'm shy myself. I can be very socially awkward when it comes to social situations. It's okay if you struggle to make friends. I, too, struggle to find friends. Ive been trying to change this for a while. I joined some clubs at my college campus but things haven't set up apparently so I am awaiting that. I'm angry because I have a horrible social life and nothing has seemed to change. I hope I make friends soon. I hope my social life gets better.

    Speaking of not being able to do small talk, I tend to have times in which conversations become awkward. I'm not very good in the social skills "department". That's definitely something that I have to improve on. I struggle with some slight anxiety myself. At one point, it used to be very intense.


    I hope to make friends on this forum as well. You will definitely make some friends in this community. There is a lot of positive energy and vibes in this forum that you should be awaiting.

    Send me a PM or a wall message if you're going through a hard time. I'll try to respond.

    I'll send you a friend request.
