Ok this is really weird for me to say, but I've struggled with chronic social anxiety for quite a while. and every now and then I'll try to join a forum or some site to try to talk with people and try to break this fear. But everytime I do people are so mean, rude, bitter, and selfish, I never stay on for long. I'm the type of person who keeps to myself. and outside of my family and a few bestfriends, I just don't talk to people.

Ever since I've joined here, even though it hasn't been that long, I've met so many nice people. Everybody here is so thoughtful and kind. and even if you disagree with somebody's views on something, everybody is mature enough to handle it like an adult should, and I couldn't be more thankful. For the first time in longer than I care to admit,I feel like a part of something, I feel accepted here. I know it may not seem like much to most people, but I just wanted to thank everybody. it really means a lot.
