i 'm kind of socially awkward and i do n't know how to start conversations in real life . i wish i had more friends having a few good friends or even one is better then having a bunch of fake ones . it is hard to make friends as an adult that are true friends even if you are great at it ! so do n't feel bad thank you for your support ! i have a really good friend but he lives in a different state so we do n't see each other that often i understand ! i used to be the social butterfly but now after a lot of trauma i am very anxious as well and i do n't care to have people i do n't trust around me anyhow . maybe try meetups or forums where people have the same interests ?
Limited in-person social connections and long-distance from close friends.
