Introducing Myself

Hi there! I joined this forum because one of my main goals is to socialise more as the only people I interact with are my immediate family. The problem is I have really bad social anxiety (even online) so I always struggle with what to say. Can anyone empathise? Does anyone fancy a chat?

  • Hi, nice to meet you! I also suffer from social anxiety. The pandemic made this easier for me as I didn't have to socialise very much. Now I feel I should try to see people more and it's really hard. I'm new to the community and I've also joined to try to socialise more, so happy to chat to you.

  • Hi there! Yeah the pandemic wasn’t much different for me but than usual but I can only imagine how hard it must have been for people that didn’t have the decade of practice that I had. So what kind of things do you enjoy?

  • Hi! I like reading, usually historical novels, enjoying the countryside near our home and cycling. I am also learning Italian on Duolingo. What kind of things do you like to do?

  • Yeah I know logically I can’t be bad at everything but it’s kind of been imprinted in my mind that I am. My special interest is Pokémon and if Im able to recall a lot of facts and figures from the games then surely I must have some ability lol If I were to learn a language I would probably choose Spanish. I would love to visit Barcelona and Madrid. Being a huge Pokémon fan, I’d love to learn Japanese but that is extremely advanced for a Latin Alphabet speaker.
