I've learned that I'm not alone in how I feel. And I'm definatly not broken

Hi guys I'm new here, but I'm leaning to push my fears of people. I have been hurt by many times I didn't got out of my room. So,one of friends here advice me to try it out and naver fear change I'm not that there but I think I'll get there.

Since I'm now halfway done with my college career, it's worth mentioning the progress I have made in terms of socializing. I used to almost completely avoid talking to certain people due to my social anxiety. It was difficult for me to make new friends, because I didn't put myself out there very often(I was more focused on doing well in high school and sports that I didn't make enough time for even my closefriends). Although I still have some difficulty today, I find it much easier to talk and relate to other people.

It definitely takes a lot of self-confidence andpractice (and the right support group)to be comfortable socializing. I had had to seek out friends from many different organizations and classes before I started feeling like I fit in at my large public university, but I'm glad I made the effort. :)

Found a lot of guys who are sufferers. That makes my suffering way to less. Also found guys who understand me and my problems. I come here when I feel down.

Hang in there, you are not alone in this

Keep your head up, let the world see you smile cause its a nice smile

June 12 will be my One year of not cutting,burning, or purging 😊😊😊 can't wait.

Recently from my chats with listeners I have noticed the recurring theme of patience. We talked about how I can tackle each of my problems one step at a time. Whenever I tried to take on every single one of my issues all at once it is very overwhelming! So from that experience I have to take it easy on myself.

I have learned by talking to people on here, as silly as it sounds, we are all human. I have made mistakes, some of my mistakes, others have made as well. I have learned to not look down upon myself all the time, and to know that I am strong.

for the first time in my life, ive been feeling comfortable talking about the stuff i've been through, and its been kind of healing for me.
