Newly diagnosed and new to the community

Hii, this is my first post. I have social anxiety and I'm trying to improve my social skills in this community and irl. Any tips for that would be greatly appreciated Slight smile

  • Hello. I have really poor social skills and talking to people is hard for me too. I am noticing that I so things to make myself feel more comfortable like putting my hands in my pockets when I am standing there, before I would have taken my hands out, not I just leave them in because I feel better. I don't really have social anxiety though, I used to have that like a sick feeling before I went into a place. Now its more, I just don't want to do it, but I do it and feel okay. 

    I play wheelchair rugby, like old music, films, TV shows, politics, military stuff, psychic stuff like talking to tree's. Loads of other stuff too, but that's the main things.

    Thank you! I'm a girl also who's almost in her mid 20s.

    I'll try to keep your advice in mind. I think I'll try to comment on at least one post a day to keep me going for now.

    Nice interests :) I'm still trying to figure out what my special interests are, but I think it's somewhere along the lines of watching tv shows. I'm currently watching Gilmore Girls, but I also like watching k-dramas and occasionally anime. 

  • Hello and welcome to the community! I am a girl in my mid 20s and I have autism, EUPD, C PTSD and BDD. I also suffer with social and well general anxiety. 

    My tips here would be to feel free and do your own posts or comment on other posts if you feel you can relate or you feel like writing. The forum does seem to have gone a bit quiet lately I’ll admit and majority of people just ask like one question but then leave. 

    My interests are Nintendo, Simpsons and SpongeBob. What are your interests?
