Resently i moved back to live with my dad again, because i was lonely. And that is great and all...
Its nice talking to him, but he is always straigt to the case, and then i have to take actual resposibility for myself, and that means i have to open my shell and show my vunerability, and thats uncomfortable... problably important but uncomfortable.
My next big step in recovery is also to seek proffesional help... but again then i have to deal with myself...
I want to learn social skills and how to initiate friendship. But it is a skill i have ben lacking my whole life, and i know i have to drop some bad habits. But then... those bad habits is my life up until today. I have to venture into the unknown and throw away the few things im comfortable with.
All this new stuff scares me, all this change...

Imagines with my happy childhood play in front of my eyes. When time passed and I grew up I was more and more unhappy, with physical manifestation of depression and anxiety. Today I'm lost in this life, feeling that I missed somewhere in the road of life my purpose in this life.
Yes of course they scare you as any change can be intimidating but don't forget they can also be exhilerating too. That's the other side of the coin. It's time to change so go with it and learn to drop those bad habits at least with potential friends otherwise you might scare them away.
I could have written your post many years ago as I too somehow missed out on how to make friends and I didn't have any until I got to my late 20's. I decided to teach myself and to this aim I watched and studied how other people, especially the popular ones, interacted. It took some time but I began to copy them adapting it to my own personality of course and I started slowly to make friends. I have never been friendless since and would never allow myself to be. if I can do it then so can you, so go forward and start teaching yourself and begin to fly. x
