Hi

[Lava]

Hello, I'm Amber. I want friends and want to be social but I'm terrified of people I have a hard time trusting them and I tend to push then away or not let them in. I feel incapable of connecting to and trusting people. Though I'm always kind and forgiving to others even those that repeatedly hurt me just because I hope that if I'm nice enough to people maybe someone will be nice to me. Though the nicer I am to people the meaner they are to me. They think I'm just a pushover and use and hurt me. Yeah I guess I am a pushover. I want to believe the best in people I give my best to everyone including people I don't like and Every time I let someone in out trust them I get hurt and my fear of people is reinforced. I guess I just don't know how I or where to find good people to put in my life

Just be yourself and you will meet friends for life good luck

try to find friends you can relate to - have common interests; etc. Be ready to compromise and forgive but don't let anyone take advantage of you. It's not so easy but it's worth it!

I am exactly like you. I feel that if I am nice to people, they will be nice to me. But I've finally realized that it doesn't work that way. I'm a pushover and it has caused heartbreak after heartbreak for me, along with a lot of other things. I have lost my self confidence because of my anxiety and depression and I feel hopeless a lot of the times. I have dealt with this for 7 years, I am 20 years old. But know that you are not alone. When people used to tell me this, I would still feel lonely because I didn't fully understand how many people felt the same way as I do, plus you can't feel what another person is exactly feeling which makes you feel scared and even more lonely. But I have researched so much about this, and talking to people on this website really helps. You are not alone. God bless you

Hey keep believing in people, don't ever give up on them there is good people in this world and you will find them, you're a very good person and wonderful, you deserve better than this and you need to hang in there and trust in God (: but also don't let anyone treat you like a push over, you're better than that

Well I try to believe the best in people and I'm constantly hoping for it, it's just hard. And to be cripled by fear and anxiety really bites. I am pretty lucky that my depression is a symptom of bipolar as it goes away it isn't on going. Though I truly feel got people who suffer on going depression. I try to keep my head about me when I'm depressed but the longer I feel hopeless the harder it gets. Thanks everyone. I do feel better well less depressed. My biggest problem is the anxiety and fear.
