How to talk to people when you have SAD? Good conversation starters?

...See more Hi, I have social anxiety and sometimes it gets really bad. I am always nervous to talk to people but really want to make friends since I have just started school again. There is no one I hang out at lunch with currently but I want that to change. How do you start conversations though when you are so worried about people making fun or judging you? Does anyone know some really good conversation starters for people who you see around a lot but never talk to? Responses are hugely appreciated!

What to do when loneliness consumes me?

...See more Hi so for the last few months I have felt tremendously lonely. During my childhood, I never had many reliable, trustworthy friends. I often felt friendless because nobody seemed to really care or appreciate me that way. My family and I are close but sometimes I feel that it's not enough. My first year in secondary has been horrible. I had some friends who I realized more and more were treating me like dirt. My mental illness struggles finally caught up with me a few months ago and, one family supported me through. I missed so much school and lost contact with my "friends". They never reached out, even though they suspected that I was struggling with my mental health (I found this out later.) I subsquently have ended my relationships with them. Now it's the summer and I feel lonelier and lonelier. I want a whole bunch of friends and don't know what to do next year. I really struggle with keeping friends. Social media can be hard to keep up with I find. I want some reliable people in my life. How do I cope with feeling so lonely? I have tried books and movies. I sometimes drown in them so much that I feel lonlier. Sometimes the feeling is just so debilatating and it is starting to really consume me. Sometimes I just what to drown it in though. What do I do? Any suggesstions? How can I not let the feeling consume me? How do I stop drowning? Does this make sense?

...See more How do I cope with my loneliness? I feel so alone all the time even though I have the support of my mother. I have always had trouble making friends and have social anxiety. I am trying to get therapy and I'm on meds. But I don't know what to do when I feel there is NO BODY else there for me and I feel uncomfortable at school; everyone has friends but mine are mean to me. I am so tired of people treating me like shit. I eant better friends and I am sick of all the years of bullying. What do I do????
