someone being friendly towards me feels weird

[wise ember]

I’m not used to talking to anyone at all, led alone to strangers irl, online I can kinda handle it, i never made any real friends from it for the fear of being judged

Most of my interactions are from online strangers albeit mostly short lived, so imagine someone irl being friendly towards me when I’m socially inept, it just feels weird, not in good or bad way just weird

I don’t know if they wanna be friends with me or just being friendly or even like me for some reason

I’m terribly lonely that my brain thinks it’s a dangerous to go outside and talk to ppl

My childhood is complicated like many others, there’s lots of things that caused me to be lonely and depressed.

Try small And make few friends online, find like minded people. Your mind can recalibrate over time And exposure to good people And connections, overcoming trauma And different conditions in the past Will be hard but it isnt impossible. Gradually increase the difficulty, text every day => share more personal stuff => voice chat => video chat => meet in Real life. That can take up to a year, less or more depending on your effort And severity of problems.

Tbh most people dont like talking to strangers irl, thats pretty normal.

Hey @scarlet willow please only provide genuine advice / help. That statement can be seen as counter productive and can damage someone’s desire to seek help.
Going through things alone and keeping everything to yourself isn’t healthy. You may view it as a helpful statement but, that is not the truth.
