Hi,
I struggle alot with feeling insecure about the person that I am, especially with how I am around other people. I don't know what to say when I'm around other people, beside asking them how their day is going, and other basic questions. I look at other people and see how easy it is for them to converse with others, share their ideas, stories, crack jokes. I often wonder on a daily basis what's wrong with me. Why is it that when I'm around other people, nothing pops into my head that I can talk about? It makes me feel stupid, like I'm brain dead or something. I hardly have any friends, and I just feel alone. But I'm afraid if I reach out to people and try to make friends, I'm not going to know what to say. I'm worried that people will find me boring, not interesting. It seems that people are attracted to those who are outgoing, funny, etc. I don't want to end up alone when I'm old, but I feel like things are just not going to change for me. Does anyone have any advice? Posted on 03/26/08, 03:03 pm |

wow, I feel the exact same way as you. I think the best thing to do is just try to talk to others, even if it is just asking them basic questions. I feel like this is causing me difficulty making new friends, and that no one will like me.. It's really hard :(

u could have been writing that about me! lol i think this is a by product of depression in general. it sucks but u just have to keep pushing urself. i have to force myself to talk to ppl and i get really anxious when i do and some times have panic attacks, im always thinkin that they must be thinkin that im such a loser and talkin crap. i try really hard to fit in and i always feel like im on the outsife lookin in. U just have to remember that u r interesting and a nice person and ur not goin to get on with every one, rejection is a scary thought but if u dont try then ull never meet new ppl. there are nice ppl, theyr just harder to find! lol
go for it, try to make urself, thats what i did when i started college, i was crappin myself but i forced myself to try and talk to one new person every other day and iv made a couple of friends when i didnt expect to, i bet u might surprise urself. xx

Since my breakdown last year, I feel nervous and self-conscious around other people (not DS). I then feel very tired. …
i was just wondering after looking around if there are any people out there in DS that are in or around oregon. i have …
Have have ever had so many friends or people all around you yet you feel so all alone?
