Hello. I've been looking for a board that's still in use for this topic. I'm shy and sometimes experience social anxiety. I'm also socially avoidant. I don't have any friends and don't associate with anyone outside my family. I was isolated and overprotected as a child. I haven't been able to break that way of life. I long to be social and have friends. But my shyness runs very deep. I am also shy on the internet and am afraid to put myself out there. I am hoping this will be somewhat of a first step.

I was afraid to post anything at first. I still have to check what I've typed, many times, before I can click the post button.
Sometimes I don't bother, I almost didn't post this. So you aren't the only one who is shy online as well as in real life.

Hello, welcome to SU. I was afraid to post when I first joined, I only made about 30 posts in the first 6 months, It gets easier the more you do it, now i dont think about posting.

Welcome....
I'm sure you'll like it here. This is the only place I found that is useful in dealing with shyness. It took me forever to start posting because like you, I'm shy on the internet too but nobody here bites. When I started only about one in ten of my posts I actually had the guts to hit the 'submit' button, now I'm well over the 50% mark.

I don't have any friends and don't associate with anyone outside my family. I long to be social and have friends. But my shyness runs very deep. / you are just like me lol i dont have any friends either besides my neighbors lol kinda sad but its the truth. there are other people just like you out there and i am here for you. there is really nothing to be shy about on the internet. i used to be kind of shy on the internet but now i am probably not shy enough on the internet.
