Basically the title.
I'm a 23F and I feel like I’ve been struggling socially for the last few years. I’m feeling kind of hopeless (and helpless) about it so I guess I just want to see if anyone else relates as well and if anyone has changed this about themselves (or at least improved a little bit).
I feel like I don't have much to say in most social interactions. I have no idea what to talk about during any conversation.
But here's the thing: when I'm alone I think. A lot. To the point where I debate most things in my own head (lol). But I just can't bring myself to do that with other people. In case you're wondering, I also have a lot of trust issues and I am extremely anxious (great combo, I know).
I am afraid of saying the wrong things and making people turn their back on me because I might have said something stupid.
This whole thing has started making me feel extremely depressed, especially in the past few months. I really want to go out more, meet new people and make new friends but it's extremely hard for me.
Has anyone gone through this? Any advice? Thank you!
