Loneliness
« on: August 05, 2015, 05:26:10 PM »
Can anyone help? I get lonely cause I'm shy I feel lonely even when I'm with people. I feel no one understands me. I also find it difficult to socialise. I'm scared of rejection they might think I'm stupid. So I don't say anything.
Thanks
Leo

Leo, you can say what you like here and be respected.  I do understand what it is like to be shy and find it difficult to socialise as I suffered that for many years.  Due to getting involved as a volunteer I have found it gradually easier and easier to be able to speak to others.

I'm shy IRL too and I'm guessing there are others here too so you aren't alone any longer... take your time and post whenever you want or need to, knowing that the members here really do understand what you're going through.

I don't know about you, but I'm more outgoing online because I don't feel so much pressure to be someone I'm not... is it like that for you maybe?

Thanks one of the main reasons for being shy is because of of my sheltered upbringing and strict childhood and not being able to express myself.

Yup, I had a similar childhood at the hands of my father, brother and bullies so really do understand.  We're here for you whenever you want to talk!   :hug: if you want it?
