Hey yall so I realized this place is more asking for advice over giving advice:( So I’m here to share my discovery!! As someone who’s recovered/recovering from social anxiety and struggles to make friends, I got very lucky this past week. (1/2)

My boyfriend has been pushing me to make friends, and just by being brave and walking up to some other girls I made this one friend. I’ve gotten very close with her (I think I just got lucky) and she is SUCH a social person!! She has many friends and she literally just like talks to everyone. Randomly walking she just compliments people, asks questions to people she DOES NOT KNOW and like she’s just so brave and friendly. (2/3)

All of this was such a shock to me because I could never fathom being this social and talking to random people I don’t know is so scary to me. Even talking to people I know can be scary sometimes 😭 But it’s been such a great experience because it’s showed me that talking to people doesn’t have to be scary. And a lot of people are actually nice and respond very nicely! I’m very happy I’ve made this friend because I’ve learned from her that socializing doesn’t have to be scary. (3/3)
