If "hang out" means going to a pub with a large group of friends and having some tremendous fun, I never hang out (and I don't miss that). But I quite often go for a nice, quiet, pleasant walk and talk with one or two friends. That counts, doesn't it? Being alone for as long as some of you claim they have been, well, that must feel.. lonely. How do you cope with that?
Last time for me was March 23rd of this year when me and 3 other guys all hung out and then went to a wrestling show in the night, I did actually have a good time and did feel pretty relaxed with those guys, shame is we don't really live that close to eachother (I met them in college that has people from all over the place, only got chatting to them cuz they came up to me first, about my liking of wrestling as I was wearing a WWE RAW T-shirt at the time) we might be meeting up again for the event on friday, not 100 percent sure yet though,
Apart from that I am a total loner and never go out wih people (unless it's family) and just can't talk to anyone to make friends, like an invisible barrier saying i must'nt talk to them for some reason,
what do i do ? I'm not really scared of going outside when I have to it''s just that I can never talk to/make friends with anyone
You know what works for me? If you can't talk to people, DO something with them. Try some courses, work, charity, whatever. Learn spanish, start yoga, help the homeless. Whatever you want, just do it TOGETHER with other people. Start social interaction with small steps at first, and you will work it up.
Late March for me. It was one of my bestfriends birthdays & i was reluctant to go but got dragged along & had a pretty crap time as i wanted nothing more but to not be there. Although now that my agoraphobia & AVP are so fullblown i don't have any friends to go out with anyway.
Last Sunday. I just went to the mall. I'd be lucky to be out with a friend on weekends as I only have a few friends left, 2 actually. There are still a few others but i very seldom see them, like maybe once or twice a year only. Maybe if I dont have AvPD, I could go out more often, but I'm only comfortable to be with friends, not relatives, officemates or classmates.
I'm actually doing very well. I'm getting out every day and connecting with old friends. I attribute the relief of my panic symptoms to propanolol and clonazepam, but I'm still not fully recovered. I still avoid places where there are tons of people, but I can live with that for now...
Not since middle school for me unless you count standing around awkwardly while people you only vaguely know have a good time. I went to a baseball game with some guys a couple of years ago where I opened up a little bit, but I wouldn't consider them friends really. That was sophmore year of college.
Yesterday evening i was with some -friends-. Supprisingly , i wasnt quiet/ I was like the one that spoke almost all the time. But when i got home i hardly fell asleep because i was kind of ovwerwhelmed with emotions. I think i should go out more, but it doesnt depend only on me? THinking of that group of friend makes me feel a bit inferior(, but at least they didnt picking me). I hate compariosn thing and i would really like to turn it off.
