I know I have said this before but I suck at social situations. Now I am wondering if it is possible to get over this or if I should just give up. I am so sick of hating myself for not being able to connect with other people and have them like me. I know that it might have something to do with the fact that my parents never act like they love me or tell me that they do. Will I ever be someone that people can enjoy spending time with or will I always fail miserably at this?

I wish I could tell you there is hope, but I am unsure myself. I am 24 and have always had the same problems not being able to connect with people. I finally got the courage to go to therapy for it a few months ago. So far therapy hasn't really helped cause I don't really open up to my therapist the way I want.
If you haven't tried therapy and or meds for this yet, I would recommend it. I don't know how old you are, but I am 24 and have been well aware of this problem most of my life. I can't help but to think how much better my life might be now if I had gotten help back when I was 14 or so for this. If you haven't all ready, seek out therapy. Like I said, I am not going to say that you will ever overcome this problem, but I would almost guarantee you have no chance of overcoming it unless you get some therapy or counseling IMO.

I was reading about social anxiety and it seems like I might have it. I am probably going to have to call a therapist tomorrow. I have heard many times that if you don't get help, things just get worse.
I can definately identify with what hottignorance says in her signature. I like the comfort of being alone but I hate feeling lonely.
