I bet everyone here understands. A pet can make a big difference. And joining a group focused on some sort of task, where socializing is not the main thing. Like googling local volunteer opportunities, or taking a class. Nature is where I get love, and my kind dog too.

Hello Shetty

You have come to the right place, and I totally understand your situation. I am sure you will find somebody to talk to here, I would love to hear your story sometime.

Come and say hello, you don't have to be alone.

I look forward to speaking to you.

I wish I could explain my feelings, due to my social anxiety I've lost everything my friends, my job even myself. And the worst thing about social anxiety is that people simply don't understand.

I may not know what you’re going through but I’ve been through depression and I know how it feels so I’ll try my best to understand you as a person.
