Hi! Everything that is happening in life, both personal and in a wider society view, is causing me to want to retreat, forget it all and just be alone. However, overall that's not what I want! I can be a very social person, albeit in small amounts, and I want to have friends and be accepted. I struggle with this so much and don't know what to do about it. I've tried to be a good friend to people over the years and have been supportive and interested in them etc yet something about me still seems to mean I end up mostly on my own. Anyway, I welcome anyone with advice or just sympathy or anyone who wants to make friends!
