Hi

Hi, I'm new to this and everything. My name is Skylar and I'm a teenager. I don't really know how this works and everything cause I'm very bad at talking to people. :/ Hopefully I met new people on here that understands me in a way and I understand them in a way.

I'm the same way but older. But in my teens I was very shy and kept to myself.

Yea, I usually keep my head in a book and don't talk to people much

I would say you'll grow out of it but its not always the case. But I'd say put yourself out there. I did. I'm a little better now.

[Hidden in reply to Ashleyishopeful]

Thanks for the advice. I'll try doing that.

I am older, but as a teenager had a few (2) close friends and thousands of best friends in books! I read a lot, as in thousands of books. I did not realize I was using them as an escape from depression till I was older. Might help to talk with your doctor about your shyness and I assume anxiety. I'm not sure it always gets better, but as humans we can always learn better ways of coping. Hope this message helps.

I know I use books to get away from reality and I try to talk to my doctor but every time I go, I end up forgetting and he usually say's it's something else. I can't ever find a good doctor to go to. I have a close friend I talk to but, I usually don't say much to him cause he has his own problems to deal with. And Thank you, it did help me some
