Spending time with people
Ever since I was little, I've always been reluctant to hang out with friends. My first sleepover ended in me crying in the middle of the night and my mum having to come pick me up. Now, whenever I make plans to hang out after school, talk to someone on the phone, just to see someone in between classes, I get a sick feeling in my stomach just thinking about it. I often cancel or avoid these plans, and then feel awful about that. I just made plans to hang out with a friend, but now I just really want to cancel. On one hand, I want to be normal, but on the other hand I'm really scared.
Hey you sound like you are really young. I was just like you, when I was 2nd grade, I only had like 1 friend. I grew up to be pretty awkward, who had very little to no friends. Then I realized in high school that friends are really important...it was kind of late to realize that, because I was already a senior and graduating in like 2 months(I used to be "who needs friends" kind of person). Sometimes I would literally cry (of course I act like I yawned cry) when people talked to me and I felt that they are comfortable around me. You know...just keep trying, also remember that you need some friends in your life and you don't want to regret that moment (right now) the person you are talking to might beyour best friend10 years from now.
Hi @MattyBoi
So to paraphrase, you're saying that they should try and push through their anxiety? :)
