I really didn't want to do this. People in forums can be really horrible to people like myself that are different sometimes. No offense I don't really know any of you but I hope you don't make fun of me. I have a really crippling case of social anxiety and have a difficult time going out anywhere and feeling comfortable. Crowds of people make me sick to my stomach and my medication hasn't helped much. As a result I'm very solitary, people must think I'm pretty strange. I'm also very lonely. Anyway I wanted to know if there's some place I can go to meet people that suck at life like me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much. Please don't make fun of me.

Hi there,
I was told to tell you that you may perhaps like to try the library. The one in Leonardtown is small and not so crowded as the Lex. Park location.
I'd also suggest trying the art gallery or one of the small functions at St. Mary's College.
Are you taking Paxil? Or something else? I've never taken it but was told that it worked really well.
I understand where you are coming from, take a few small steps.

Secondly, change "no one special" to something like, "why yes, I AM all that!!"
I did take Wellbutrin for about three months and found helped my desire to smoke and eat sweets. Not so good for my extreme pregnancy hormones that caused me to cry for days and sleep once a week.
Maybe you're meds just aren't working for you.:shrug:

Also, if you put yourself down all the time, people will believe it and pile on. Just treat others as you wish to be treated. Try to act more positive.
As others have stated, start small. One step at a time. Go to some local art showings. Maybe put out a personal ad and get to know someone that way until you feel comfortable to meet.

Good luck and be good to yourself.
Take it slow. I think the library is a great idea.
