| @SleepyLolita I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through. While I wouldn't classify myself as having social anxiety I also have no social life, with only one person that I could barely consider a friend. And my experiences with online friends is pretty much the same. And while I don't consider myself in any way suitable to give advice on this kind of stuff I want to try. Start out slow. Join discord groups or mal clubs with a really low number of people. While this will make it harder to find someone active in the club it will also make any conversation you have feel a lot more open and intimate and you won't feel like you excluded from anything. Next, you should talk about something you love. While it might seem harsh if you feel like the conversations your having are going nowhere just say goodbye and try again. You should focus on finding one person with similar interests and build a friendship from there. While it definitely is easier to type than actually do, taking it from my own experience, finding at least one person to talk to will greatly better your mood. That's all I can think of right now, but if you're really looking for someone to talk to I'm usually online for most of the day. I wouldn't mind a stuttering mess to talk to, since I'm one too. |
