Introvert working on opening up.
I've closed myself up alot throughout the years since I continuously struggle with social anxiety. I either cone on to strong or not strong enough. I feel like I'm ready to try and make new friendships but have lost the balance on how to better go about it. I know my ocd seems to ruin everything and then I'm left feeling like a *** for not having a better approach. I just thought it would be a good idea to reach out and get outside perspective from others than may have a better understanding on the difficulties of all this.

I totally agree with you and I feel like I've definitely experienced moments in which I try to make conversation or relationships but my anxiety gets in the way of properly thinking. It's a difficult thing to deal with especially as everyone you meet has a different personality and mindset then before. I'd say learning to practice and get out of your comfort zone is the best way to really "train" yourself to find comfort in talking to other people! Everyone has their own time and charm, it's just up to each one of us to find it! Also understand that you won't necessarily get along or 'click' with everyone!, personalities can be super complimentary or super incompatible depending on the person. Don't let this discourage you, just understanding that dynamic can help you as well!
