Looking for a friend

[bizcoach]

Those of us with social anxiety often are difficult to befriend. I have many people who respect me, admire me, and some that envy me, yet my only friend is my spouse. I think that many successful people avoid social situations as a result of lifelong anxiety but that same anxiety also drives success. We are not great team players and must be 100% responsible for our results... because no one will come to our rescue. I am comfortable being accountable but despise episodes of "greater than normal" anxiety when I am not on top of my game

OP I hope you find this a friendly place. I recently registered to this forum after being a long time observer, as it seems to be a friendly place to share.

Some very interesting points there, i feel the exact same way.

I openly admit I make a pretty craptastic friend. I'm the kind of friend that every now and then takes a hiatus from other people, dropping off the face of the earth for a few weeks, then jumps right back in as if nothing had happened. Gotta love social anxiety. It it were a plush toy it would be made out of fiberglass insulation. SO SNUGGLY!! Nonetheless, I would be quite glad to make a new friend. I have only a very select few myself (although i am currently Howard Hughes-ing it up, growing my fingernails out and disinfecting my Clorox bottles at the moment.)

Stay Awesome!

You found any friends yet, Mist?

Or are you like me where everyone thinks you are annoying outside the Internet?
