Making friends
Hi, my name is Youssef, and I'm 22 years old. I'm dealing with terrible social anxiety and depression, especially these days. I left university because of it. Also, finding a job is really difficult for me, and on top of that, my family is forcing me to go out and be social. Anyway, here are some things I enjoy doing: first, astrology. I love talking about time travel, black holes, stars, planets, etc.I read manga and watch anime; some of them I liked are Monster, Death Note, and HXH. Also, series like Dark (Netflix), Breaking Bad, and movies like Interstellar and Harry Potter, I also like gaming. If someone shares the same interests and wants to make a sincere friend, my DMs are always open.

Hi there π I struggle with bad social anxiety too, currently at college, but I'm trying my best. I know how hard it is but please don't isolate yourself from others! At the start of the college year, it was so bad that I couldn't talk to anyone without wanting to hide my face. Although it fluctuates, I have gotten better at this and I'm willing to fail many times until it gets better and it has. Baby steps! Healing is not a straightforward or simple process. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this too but I believe in you π you are enough as you are β€
@optimisticPenny7031 I feel you, Iβm 13 (Iβm the youngest in 9th grade) and have major depressive disorder and bad social anxiety, I might drop out of high school.
@RainbowPickle209 also, I love astrology, neutron stars are my favorite anything in the universe.
