Aww you poor foxyy
*hugs*
I empathize with you because I am diagnosed with ADD and I have problems relating to other people and making new friends.
It's hard for me to be in a group because it just feels so socially awkward and I find that being by myself is actually much more blissful.
But somehow, there will be a point in our lives where we need to meet people. Trust me, I know the feeling of insecurity and nervousness when
our little bubble of isolation is popped. I would love to help you, but you must accept the fact that there's no route to avoid socialising. It's inevitable. But
hey man, the fact that you have already posted on this forum for help means that you're willing to socialise with anybody who wants to help you and that
by itself is the commendable first step! YAY!
So how do we go about with gaining the confidence to meet people? Let's try to see where we're at and strategise a lil'..
1. You are not able to meet new friends at the moment and you are not able to adapt to a new enviroment. The only way around this is to
simply start small, and by that I mean by focusing on ONE person only. The city of Troy wasn't conquered in a day.
Keep this in mind and by all means take your time
2. You don't have the ability to be talk to the person confidently, so....script and roleplay it out. Talk to yourself in the mirror, or an inanimate object if you have to.
This will be the basic building blocks of your confidence.
3. Be yourself man. I think it's perfectly okay if you are a nervous wreck in front of the person you're meeting, but honestly, any sane person will be able to to accept the fact
that this is who you are and that he/she would love to be friends with you. I'm sure he/she be willing to help you as long as you're open and honest about your issues.
Constant encouragement is what you need right now too, and I'm here to kickstart it to boost your morale in order to fuel your determination to socialize.
