So the times I've met people irl before my physical health went down, I kinda realize how much personality I lack and how boring I am because ngl I just feel like an empty shell and having social anxiety doesn't help 😭 I really feel bad and I feel like I wasn't really met to have a social life and wanting to go back to being a shut in. Mind as well since my physical health's going down too yeet 😃

I don't know you personally but I doubt you lack a personality. It's just not easy to show it when you're dealing with a lot. I would know since I'm one of the most interesting people I know, and I don't mean that to brag. But it's not gonna show since I only leave the house to go to school or visit friends sometimes. Hope you feel better soon

You need to be in a state of mind where you're comfortable. Extroverts and neurotypical people won't have patience or time letting you get there oftentime This is my experience, hope it can be valuable

I don't think you lack personality and character. You just been around bad people who are judgemental and honestly they don't care about you. I think you just have a certain personality, you need to learn who you are you're self. Myself Im different then most people. I have my triggers and how I communicate with strangers and people I know. I think you shouldn't think that honestly. We are all different. You just have social barriers and you need to learn them.

Thank you for being brave enough to talk about this huge issue you face. I know it's only on the Internet and not face-to-face with anyone, but it nonetheless takes a lot to be able to talk about things which you face, especially when such issues are particularly personal. With that being said, after developing my thoughts and taking some inspiration from other comments here: the first thing I have to say is that you should be patient with meeting people. It's difficult to socialize when you're a former shut-in as well as a mega introvert. Socializing can be healthy, particularly when done with the right people. It will take time to find such healthy connections, so don't rush to build a huge social circle. Pace yourself at a rate you're okay with. Put yourself first, and find people over time. In order to socialize effectively, you should be sure that you're in a good state of mind to do so: make sure to not have any major problems outside of socializing take up space in your head (such as conflict with people in your life, worries about the future, etc.). Try to focus your conscience on what you like about life, and make observations about others and talk about them. Ask questions you wonder, give opinions, say anything else. You are bound to get results doing this. :) Just be patient with yourself -- if what you say isn't pleasing the other person, or they're otherwise not showing any interest, then let them go and move on to a new person. Eventually, you'll shift on someone who hits the spot! With experience, you'll develop your skills in taking to other people, and you'll one day be able to express yourself in easygoing, fun ways. And you'll even realize yourself how interesting you are. :) I hope this advice helps you. I'm sorry for the length, but I hope it's of use to you. If you want to talk to me some more about making friends and socializing, or any other issues you face, feel free to talk to me. (edited)

Tbh very good on you if you know how to enjoy yourself while being alone. if you feel confident that you don't need the company of others as often then don't push yourself, you know what's best for you. BUT if you crave the company of others and you're avoiding it because of insecurity then I'm sure you'll be able to work it out eventually and find people you're compatible with.

I wake up, sometimes I will eat but my body urges me to go lay back down as there is nothing exciting going on in my life, so I follow the voice and I try to go to the back of my mind and pull something out that will give me motivation, but I’m so trapped in the void that I end up succumbing to it,... read more

Not sure I can ever get used to being not enough for love.

Watching interest come and go with a little bit more of a dejected heart from rejection and no reciprocated interest. It only gets harder the more time I spend alone and not being enough for anyone to love.

Having a rough night

Not much else to say but I'm just having a rough night. I just want to be held by a sweet and caring woman, cry in their arms, and have them tell me it'll be ok and I deserve to be happy and that it'll be ok 😥😓

Pain in my eyes

I saw this morning they were reddish under my eyes. Likely from crying my heart out. There's still so much pain and sorrow when I look in the mirror. I wish nothing more than to pass on...

How do you cope with insomnia?

Since I got trauma, even though I drunk a lot and had fun with friends, I come back to my home my brain still AWAKE. can’t just fall asleep. I need a button to shut down my brain. I take pill, but I still can’t stop thinking.
