well, i am new to this site. i was a member of the social anxiety support site years ago, but got busy with school so i would rarely go there. now that i am done with college, i think it would be nice to make some friends online. even when i was in school, it was still very hard to try and make/keep friends. it's weird that quite a few years ago i wouldn't have considered myself to be a person that feels anxious a lot of the time. i was more outgoing and it was easier to make friends in school. but i think when i became a teenager, that's when things got tough. friends would move away/leave, so i didn't really see the point in trying to make new friends that would just end up leaving me. that's when anxiety and depression became a bigger part of my life. it's been easier to just sit at home and be by myself than trying to go out and be social. but i would really like to be that person i used to be. a person that's outgoing, not afraid to try new things, more social with people i don't know, just someone who doesn't sit around and do nothing. i think now that school is done, it would be easy to just sit around and do nothing, but i really think that would be bad for me. maybe i could make some new friends on here that could offer me support and in turn i could offer them support in their lives. i think it would definitely help to have some people to talk to. when you suffer from social anxiety, it sure gets lonely at times. well i am going to go watch Spiderman 3, i just got it for christmas and i haven't seen it yet. hopefully it's good  .
