I’m not awake when other people are due to a sleep disorder and similarly take solace in online interactions because I don’t get to interact with my IRL friends as much as I need for my head to be right
Keep pushing, I also have social anxiety and the more you engage the easier it gets. Finding a way to connect with people in spite of how hard it can be is something worth being very proud of
Thank you. :) Right now my issues are not from social anxiety, but rather from ongoing social “abuse” and rejection/abandonment at work. I used to wake up every day excited to go to work, but now I just feel so alone there. I cry often in the bathroom and before and after.
It’s not as simple as “get a new job” either. My field is small and it would necessitate moving away. Yet I own my place. Plus I am tied with someone who I felt to be my best friend at one point who no longer is. For someone with social anxiety, feeling accepted is important to me.
