...See more Some of us are home. Some are still working. We're being asked to social distance. Do you think having stay away from others will help or hurt your social anxiety? In a way, I'm ready for interaction. I'm also getting used to be alone.

...See more This may have nothing to do with social anxiety and if not then I apologize ahead of time. I've never really been that outgoing. I do feel less introverted than I used to be. In certain situations I do feel comfortable with a few people. I'm usually not the type to speak to someone first unless it's someone I know. I don't have very many friends because I let go of people who I thought were toxic in my life plus as an adult in my 30s. We all have our own lives and we grew apart. Now I want friends but I have walls up. I don't let potential partners in let alone friends. I started a job a few months ago and I have days where I rather blend in, get my work done and go home. Other days I want to be included. It's that wall that keeps me from just letting go and talking to people etc...The wall needs to go. It would help me out so much. Anyway, sorry to ramble.
Is social media to blame for troubled friendships?

...See more I have this theory deep down that we started as friends before social media became popular or even existed. We had face to face conversations or even on the phone. My question is why is it a big deal to be friends on social media? If I "unfriend" you, is that one of the 7 deadly sins? No.

...See more I feel like I have a form of social anxiety. I don't like to places that I might see people I know or even acquaintances. Sometimes I avoid this but other times I go to where I need to even if it means running into a familiar face. I'm also kind of a loner. I like my alone time. I'm starting to get the itch to break out of my shell. I want to be more social. I feel its time to make changes.

...See more How important is it? Does it mean more when its said in person rather than in a text message?
