A Little Anxious
I am feeling a little anxious for two reasons:
1. I make it extremely difficult for people to get to know the real me
2. I may not make it extremely difficult for people to get to know the real me. They get to know the real me and still have no interest in me.
I'm feeling worried about being alone forever. This has been the longest time I've been without 'friends' or a significant other so it feels weird and scary. I feel that this time alone is somewhat necessary, but also trying to balance that with not isolating myself and being open to trying things with new people.
@greenteahelps I'm sorry that you are feeling so lonely. I felt so alone before I joined 7 cups but I've found that the support I recieved here was an easy way to turn things around me. It started with just a network of support online but the progress I made from checking in with the community gave me some confidence back. I used that confidence to open up to some people offline and slowly things are improving. I feel less alone and my recovery seems to be speeding up in some regards. I hope this is something that you get out this community as well. I'm not a listener on here so I can't message you directly. But if you would like to talk, I'm here. I'm sure that I will like the real you and I can promise that I won't run away.
