Shutting off from the world

[Amberjay]

I've always suffered from social anxiety for as long as I can remember it's hard for me to open up I was always shy growing up I didn't have many friends and now that I'm older I feel like the few friends I do have we've just grown apart and I don't seem to be bothered by it my partner always tells me why don't you get out more meet some new people I don't think he understands the anxiety I feel to even think about meeting new people I deleted my facebook when I was 20 and haven't been on it ever since I think the only form of communicating with people online would have to be this app I rarely go out anymore i just feel like I'm slowly shutting my self off from the world is anyone else like this?

You're not alone in this and we're all here to support you. If you ever feel the need to vent or just talk, we're here for you! Just take it one day at a time. Welcome to the group and if you ever want to talk, my door is always open 😀

Hi Amber! I can agree with how you feel. I tell myself everyday I am ok today will be ok. Unless you been there no one can understand how you truly feel. I too have no type of social media even email or how about no cell phone. My true friend is my furry baby. Her name is kloe she's what makes me smile. I am here if you just want to chat. Life could be worse and I am at that point ☝️. You will overcome all of those feelings.
