Struggling to Make Friends with Depression and Anxiety

I used to have a very hard time making friends too. I was afraid of being rejected. What I eventually did was just force myself to put myself out there, even if I was scared. I realized that if someone rejects you from being their friend, they probably wouldn’t be a great friend anyway. Most people are kind and chill, and I’m sure you’ll find friends, even when you don’t think you will. You got this! I hope what I said was helpful. I’m willing to be your friend too! Feel free to dm me!

I struggle with this too, and I think that the thing that has helped me the most is trying to reduce the amount of oversharing I do. I tend to overshare about myself in hopes that the person will realized I'm not suited for them and walk away right there before I get attached. However if I limit my oversharing, it's easier to make friends and try to keep them without things going sideways

Can I be one of your friends?
