I too suffer from severe social anxiety and also depression. I always feel so awkward when I have to talk to people and I usually have no idea what to talk about. I feel so inferior. I really wish I could feel more comfortable and "normal" and I'd really like to have more friends in my life, but it's so difficult to put myself out there and to let people into my life. I'm a deeply caring and compassionate person and would like to have like minded friends in my life. I just don't know how and my anxiety gets in the way of me living the life I want.
