And I don't know what has or hasn't been discussed in those posts. But one thing that occurred to me as I read this post is whether or not you've ever been evaluated for ADHD? If not, that might be something to consider. Here's a link to the ADHD quiz here on PC:

ADHD Test - 3 Minute Test for ADHD/ADD. Instant results.

And then here are links to 8 articles from PC's archives. The first 2 are on the subject of shyness / social anxiety & how to be less self-conscious. The remaining 6 discuss making friends. They are, unfortunately, written more from the perspective of adults who are looking to find friends. But hopefully some of the tips they offer can be of help to you too:

My best wishes to you...

P.S. Your post wasn't that long...

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out to me. I mean, yeah -- I do have a lot of posts, I am new, so I am trying to be a little more active/involved if that makes any sense? I also do write what I do feel like are, genuine, thought-out posts -- so they're not just "random" words I write for the sake of it haha. My posts are a mix of responding to other posts, as well as personally thanking people (if I have time) because I genuinely, really appreciate most of the help/feedback I get on here. My apologies if I came off as someone who "writes too many posts". Hope that doesn't sound too cocky.

But, thanks for the links I'll look into them!
