Hello,
This message really is not heart related...I have heat conditions, this is just another issues that I am trying get through. I am young , 28,I feel so alone, I am trying to get out more and meet more people, but its challenging because I am shy by nature and so it is harder for me to start conversations, keep them going and really get to know people. I feel like I need to be getting my self out there so that people can get to know me. I continue to try, but the lonliness is still there. I need to get to a point where I don't feel lonley anymore. Sometimes I think maybe I am not trying hard enough. I still live with my parents so that probably has something to do with it. I need to get out there and take social risks.
Its is so hard to get to a point where you can trust people and be able to call them your friend or boyfriend. I know trust takes time to build...but it seems like its taking too long. I need to get to a point where I can trust friends or a boyfriend. Its not that I don't have friends because I have a few, but they are not always available to hang out or talk to. I'm hurting inside and I know I need to change that, but not sure how to get to the point where I need to be. I go to church events, I belong to Toastmasters, a public speaking group, and go to other events. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get over this shyness?
People have commented on how shy I am which makes me feel fustrated and depressed because I want to change that. Maybe its just something I have to have patience for, if I keep attending events and other interest groups, then in time maybe I can build that trust with people and be able to call those people my friends. I am just wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions or know of anything that has helped them overcme their shyness.
Thanks,
Danielle
