I’m an introverted female (26) and I have quite a bit of anxiety. Almost everything makes me nervous and I had agoraphobia for a while and just started recovering. I would like to make some new friendships but I live alone and have been staying alone since before the pandemic. I have tried and know how to make the first reach but I get nervous after that and start overthinking and then run from it.
I did get depressed during this time and I’m still dealing with that but it’s improving and I’m rediscovering myself daily. Some days are very lonely and although I’m an introvert I’d like to make friendships but I’m not even sure where to start mentally/physically.
Does anyone have any tips for someone with anxiety on making friends? Much appreciated
