Friends

[Sugarbear99]

So how do u make friends when all your life u had anxiety about it , and are naturally a bit of a loner ?

I just stay alone. Not everyone needs friends to validate their existence.

You could try support groups for anxiety, meetup.com, or volunteering someplace. There are no commitments to any of these if you are not up for it. I made several friends from the support groups.

I can relate. I have done a lot of things to help others in need to get me out of myself, but I have had friends turn on me over the past year or so, and have been lied to and decieved by family members. I am trying to accept that life is hard, and trying every day to feel comfortable in my own skin, as well as alone. I don't have any answers.

Yes I would like someone to talk over the things that happen on a regular basis , kind of really miss the long term friend that I had for 35 yrs . I have a couple others but not one that we keep in close contact . Feel a little lost
