Hey guys , I'm new here!

[Xiaoxi125]

This is a major step in my healing process. I suffered of anxiety and depression or so long but i never knew what it was until now. I grew up with literally no social skills. The only person i have ever been close to was my mom but although she loved me with all her heart, she used to always make not so kind comments about my appearance and the way i move and talk, and i didn't really want to hear all of that. I grew up with a bunch of insecurities and now i try to hide as much as possible and avoid social interactions to not feel judged or disliked. I don't want to go to therapy as i believe i can do this by myself....

Anyways, i'm so happy i googled "anxiety support group". Have a great day everybody and good luck with yoour journey.

Sending you love xoxo

Welcome! No one really tought me social skills either when I was growing up. I had to learn them on my own with help from therapists. The only way to learn them is from other people so your on the right track reaching out to people here. No one is going to judge you here.
