I have social anxiety and I'm not able to make connections with people. I'm still in highschool. When I first started, I was able to communicate with some of the people in my classes. Then next year none of them were in those classes so I stopped talking to them. They would say hi to me in the halls, but due to my anxiety I would freeze up and be unable to respond. Knowing I won't respond they just give up. This has happened several times these past 4 years. I know it sounds silly, but it's real hard for me to open up to people and take risks. I think these people have forgotten about me by now. I'm real depressed and it's worse now because I've been getting counselling and they're forcing me to deal with these feelings. To be honest, I don't think anyone would care if I killed myself.
