I wish I could tell everybody that...
That I'm not anti-social. In fact, I'm so socially anxious it makes me withdraw and I don't know how/if I'll find a way around it.
@LittleLottie16 i feel you.
I'm in a weird place with my social anxiety where I'm still terrified of speaking when I'm not spoken to, so it might seem like I don't care about what you have to say or how your day was going or whatever, but sometimes I just honest to god forget about how to make okay conversation because I'm so used to being terrified of even opening my mouth. I'm really really trying my best to be nice to everyone but sometimes I might seem really distant and a little standoffish, and it's not at all because I don't like you or don't want to talk. I'm just really honestly not used to talking to people or making conversation. I'm so sorry for how I might make you feel. I'm trying my best, I really am.
@sleepyrabbit This is exactly why I find myself thinking and even saying 'I like aniamls better than people'. It's not necessarily completely truthful. But. You don't have to say the right things or appear a certain way for an animal. Treat them kindly, and they do the same. No judgement. A room full of people, 'oh god why'. A room full of dogs, ferrets, or cats (let's be honest, almost any animal) 'this is heaven'. 
That I'm friendly. I may come off as standoffish because of my introverted personality but I am a friendly person. I'd like to have a big circle of friends and people that I go out with. I actually crave some of that social stuff.
Im not socially awkward in anyway. My biggest problem is nobody wants to talk to me either irl or online. I mean it doesn't help to feel you can't talk to your own flesh and blood how you're doing but it's sometimes even worse when strangers that don't even know you won't give you even a chance.
I wish I could tell everyone that I feel like I'm running out of time to do everything. I wish I could tell everyone that I actually enjoy spending time with people and being able to make friends, but I just can't. It feels like there is a barrier between me and normal people around me. I wish I could tell everyone that I wish I could be normal, just like everyone else..
I wish i could tell everybody that they should just leave me alone. And it's not like i chose to lay in bed ,not doing anything, not cleaning my room,not taking showers, not studying, and taking so much time in doing simple tasks because I'm lazy, it's because I'm depressed .
I wish i could tell everybody that I'm depressed but i can't.
@tidyJar6514
I feel you, depression often makes us feel isolated, it takes all of our strenght and energy away. This isn't your fault. Hang in there, and stay strong. Just remember that smooth sailing never made a skillful sailor.
@CoolRainboom
I will try my best, thank you.
That I actually love small talk and being social with people. And that social anxiety is not a lie or an excuse to hide my indifference about social situations.
Even though I am smiling, I am not always happy.
I wish I could tell people I don't want to be alive. I can be happy, but suicide is always in the back of my head.
I just want to be a woman sometimes, and enjoy the frillier, sexier, more fun clothes women get to wear.
