Need a Friend

I feel very alone right now. It feels like I'm a bubble of anxiety and suppressed emotion that is about to burst. In fact, it might have burst a little bit yesterday, but I don't really want to talk about that.

I like to think I'm a pretty unique person, but the problem with that is I start wonder if there's anyone else out there like me. I just need someone to talk to about a similar interest. "What sort of similar interest?" you ask. How about two little Canadian TV shows, Murdoch Mysteries and Flashpoint? Somehow I don't think there will be a lot of people on here who have seen those. I also like Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, and animals. I really love animals, all animals. Want to talk snakes? I'll talk snakes. (I feel like I'm some sort of advertisement now...)

Have I gone on too long? Should I add more? Should I just delete this whole thing? There goes my social anxiety talking...

Okay, I'll wrap this up. I don't really know the methods of communication on here, so you'll have to give me a hint. Anyway, thanks for reading, and let me know if you think we could get along.

Welcome to the forum!
I hope you enjoy discussing these things and talking about your interests here!

I know how that feels. Idk even my close friends seemto be very distant now.
People change so much.
I see people from all around the world going through the same thing. Things like SA and depression seem to be like a global phenomena.
Idk but I think technology is making people closer to each other but can be very dehumanizing at the same time.
But I'm sure this is just a moment in our lives. We must believe and improve what we can.
And like I said many times here... I believe after some things we go through our lives we should think that friendship can be more about quality rather than quantity.
Regards!

These threads make me think we should have like, a single thread where we can have a post each and use our post to kind of advertise ourselves. Tell people a little about ourselves, hobbies and interests etc. Then other people wanting to make friends can have a read through and then pm people they think they have common ground with.

hi there, i too am lookin to meet likeminded people either in my home country of the uk (boring, snore, zzzzz) and for someone to get along with as i struggle makin real life friends and pen pals in the past have just gone off. im into sci-fi/fantasy, marvel, old and new movies (eclectic taste), old and new music (mainly rock), reading, animals (only touched a snake once aged 10, would like to carry one, dislike idea of feedin mice to them though yet im a hypocrite as my dog eats ground up beef, chicken etc), im a vegetarian, couldnt get into dr who yet love the concept, theme music, costumes and most of the drs apart from matt smith (who my ex-colleague said was a knob in real life).
do you just have anxiety or depression, any other physical/mental conditions? i have socialphobia, depression, anxiety, occasional agoraphobia, mini breakdowns every month, frequent migraines and of course the gross hyperhidrosis which is a long-term chronic condition causing me to have problems in social situations, meeting others people, making friends (i feel worthless, insignificant and have low self-esteem) and general living with sweat dripping from me half the time and clamminess/residue the other half. i dont want to hate my life or feel ungrateful for my body. i have noticed that im becoming mentally unstable, physically weak + lethargic with memory problems, feelin drowsy a lot (maybe its the meds and eyesight contributing though) and enthusiastic to live. i hate this!!! hence why im on here to meet others in similar situations. nic x
