Trouble Making Friends?

February 18th, 2017

I have anxiety over a sexual harassment incident that happened, and I find it hard to make friends because of it. First I have the anxiety of meeting new people because I don't know how they will behave around me, so I started hitting up my old high school friends. But now that I've told one of my friends about the harassment, I kinda regret it. He seems like he wants to be empathetic towards my situation, but he's not doing a very good job. At one point he made it seem like the situation is my fault, which according to my therapist and lawyer its not (even though I believe it is) and now I don't know if I can bear to be friends with him. That would leave me at a friend count of 0 though.

Does anyone have a similar problem, or even better, a solution?

Just to let you know, I moved your thread to the 'Anxiety Support - Share Your Story/How do you feel right now?' section.
