i made a friend?
i have had pretty bad social anxiety and no friends for a couple years. its been pretty lonely until a couple weeks ago.. a guy in one of my classes randomly started talking to me, and i've been pretty awkward around him (sometimes so awkward he laughed) but he still keeps talking to me and always says hi when we pass by each other. he let me borrow something of his too. it's weird to have a friend i guess, and every time i see him i wonder how long until he gets bored of me. for now it's nice to have someone to talk to but i know it won't last
@blueberrywaffles Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you! It's so difficult to live with social anxiety and having someone to talk to you really helps to practice in the shallow end. You're handling the situation really well for someone with social anxiety because social anxiety is so difficult to handle! I think it would be a great idea to just try and continue talking. Just asking to hang out can help you to overcome your fears little by little. Don't feel forced to do so, but I think it would be a great opportunity for you!
@CelestialAurora thanks, i appreciate your comment. i'm going to try to keep talking to him and maybe eventually like you suggested ask him to hang out outside of school, but that might take some time
let’s go that’s epic , wish you the best with your new friend!

That is awesome! You made a friend! You should definitely ask him to hang out, it might even help your anxiety be a lot better. Good luck!
