It's me again
I was doing good for a while today, didn't feel lonely, and felt happy. Now all of a sudden within the past few hours, I feel a bunch of social anxiety. I've seen all these people on a forum post about games they've been playing, games I know about and have played, so I want to like, try to start talking to these people about the games, see if any friendships can develop, but I'm too scared to try. I want to start playing this onine game, Lord of the Rings Online, cause I've found a couple christian guilds on it, and would like to join one, but the thought of logging on the game, and trying to get in contact with people in the guilds, terrifies me. I've been looking at stuff on ebay, and stuff at stores online, and so I can't stop thinking about this anime I know of, about this guy who never leaves his room, never talks to anyone, not even his sister he lives with, and all he does is look at stores online, buys things on a trial period, and then returns them before the trial period is up. I feel like I'm gonna end up like that guy, like I'm gonna spend my days alone on the computer all day, never talking to anyone, and it terrifies me. I'm crying right now because of it. I don't want to be alone, but I'm too scared of things not working out, to even try to reach out to people and change anything. I just don't know what to do, I feel really weak and stupid.

Its hard and I agree with Tsu. Just take it one step at a time. Some people may answer back, some may not. But if you just keep positive, I think you'll have a good experience regardless. *hugs hang in there hun

Okay, I know this is a prayer thread and I will be praying for you, but I just want to add something. I'm sorry if I'm harsh or anything, please tell me if I am, I'm not trying to be, but I'm not generally very good with tact.
I know trying to connect with people can be hard and I'm definitely not the most outgoing person myself, but I feel that if you don't want to become
Tsu's advice of taking it slowly is good to, start with small things you think you will be able to handle and work your way up from there. Also, you make good friends by being a good friend. Be friendly, listen to people and make time for them. Contrary to popular belief, people aren't monsters who are all out to get you. There are people out there who won't mind being your friend.
I hope things get better for you. Good luck.

then choose not to. Nobody else can decide how you live your life. Even God has given us free will. Like I said I know it's definitely not as easy as it sounds and the fear of rejection can be powerful. But the worst people can do is reject you, and then; well nuts to them, their loss. You need to decide, if you want to talk to people about the games you play and join that online guild, do it. The internet is a good place to try and start practising your social skills, because it's not that personal and more flexible. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way I see it.Aedin (post: 1264561) wrote:this guy who never leaves his room, never talks to anyone, not even his sister he lives with, and all he does is look at stores online, buys things on a trial period, and then returns them before the trial period is up.

I used to go through the same thing to an extent man, and I'll be praying for you.
Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
