in Introduce Yourself
Greetings. Hahah. My name is Jeremy and I am a person struggling with a lot of of things. Loneliness, I would say depression but I haven’t been diagnosed so I don’t know. I’m pretty sure I had an anxiety disorder and it’s been really hard for me because I’m a very social person but I don’t have many friends atm cause my senior year was when COVID started and the people were a bad influence. Which is why I had no opportunity to meet new people unfortunately. I’ve tried online and I never end up getting somewhere. And I see all my “friends” together and other older friends with their crews and hanging and I hate feeling this way, but I feel jealous about what they have. The friendships, the loyalty. In fact, I’ve never really had it. A best friend. I don’t know what that is. My so called “best friends” only made my life depressing. They betrayed me and made me feel bad and abandoned me in the dark times. Ah. And then I see all these people making friends and talking and then there’s couples. The new ones. I don’t get how that happens in Covid. Literally barely go out with anyone. I feel like the last time I went out with friends or anyone was last year. And that’s a lot of time without any human contact, you know? I don’t want to keep writing stuff cause I feel like I’ll just burden you or something. If anybody read this, I thank you for it. And I’m sorry for all of it because it can be a lot sometimes. Well. I don’t know what really happens after you do this so I’ll just wait.

    Hi Jeremy, welcome! My name's Ezra and I have some of the same problems, I'm a social person who struggles to be social; my anxiety and depression make it hard for me to cope with certain social situations.

    Don't feel like a burden for sharing how you feel. As someone who feels the same way you seem to feel, it felt nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks and feels like this. :)
