do you ever have those moments where you feel like you wanna give up trying to interact with others because it's just the same cycle but you want to make friends? like you want them but your brain just stops function and you left with "what do I do with them now?"
Constantly. I feel so lonely and isolated and I reach out and I feel like I'm not getting a good connection or that they don't really care. I am awkward and I have social anxiety and with my chronic pain and illnesses I feel like I don't have anything positive to say. I constantly feel like I am bringing down the people around me. "Friends" expect you to be there for them and to go do fun stuff and whatever and I don't feel capable of doing anything most of the time. It is very frustrating and it makes me feel angry and sad and then my symptoms get worse and I don't want to be around anyone at all and then I get more lonely and wish that someone would reach out to me, but when they do I don't feel like they are genuine or they are just doing it to make themselves feel less guilty about not talking to me regularly. Then I don't want to talk to them, then I feel like I am not being a good friend and it's all on me... I don't know what to do
