I just had a realization about this website: Not everyone here is depressed. Right?
For some reason, I had associated social phobia with depression--and of course, sometimes, there is a connection.
I think my situation is this: While I have definitely known the sad depths of life (my dad died when I was a kid, my mom fell into a life-long depression, a lot of people can be cruel, etc.), I think at the heart of it, I am upbeat and just about melt when I can have a friendly conversation with someone, it seems so rare.
So . . . if you are "well rounded" in this regard, I'd love to hear from you--maybe be "penpals" (e-mail is fine). I just feel it's SO hard to meet nice people, including in my own family, and I would love to have that connection. Just looking for friends, nothing beyond that.
Thanks for reading.
