I, 25F, have been having a bit of a hard time for years. I just posted another post that, hopefully, should not get removed for any violations. In that post, I described how, basically, my anxiety only flips a switch when I try to become friends with people I am acquaintances with. 

As a result of this, I have one friend....who also has anxiety.

And, while I subscribe to the whole "quality is better than quantity" viewpoint. I'd really like to have more than one. It gets lonely when your one friend has twenty and you just have her. 

I have typically been unable to procure friends by other means because, on top of having anxiety, I am extremely introverted. It takes a lot out of me to hang out with others and I do not want to do it constantly, but when I do and I can't, it's not a good feeling.

I have a hard time also because, with my introversion, I have very few "interests". I like to read, watch t.v., listen to music, exercise at the gym (dance and weights), cook, go hiking sometimes, and go to the movie theater. Especially that last one. And differences in interests, have negated the interests of any acquaintances that were willing to look past my anxiety. 

At this point, I am hoping to become friends with more people that understand the struggle and I would love especially to have a movie buddy that loves going to the movies as much as I do, at the minimum. Thus, if you happen to be on this sub and love to go to the theater then feel free to dm me or respond in the comments. And if you happen to live in Huntsville, AL, then maybe we could go together sometime?
