Hi,
My name is Izzy. I suffer from severe social anxiety so I don’t have any friends in real life. I’m at a university for my first year of college. I’m suicidal. I would like to make friends on this website.

Hey, my name is Andersen.
I lost all my friends because of my disability. They just stopped coming over. Stopped communicating. Stopped everything. I was with a certain job for 21+ years and because of a disability. The boss didn’t want the communities lives in my hands since I am not reliable anymore. So I can never get a job. No friends. No caring/loving family. No life. I am also suicidal with 2 therapists.. (I am about to go to bed, so I probably won’t reply today.. possibly a different time zone then you.)
Hey Andersen!
Thanks for the response 🙂 It makes me feel better knowing that someone else has endured the things that I have with the friend thing. My heart goes out to you. That sounds very rough but you’re definitely a warrior. Feel free to email me, I think it’s in my info 🙂
Thanks again.

Hi Izzy,
Welcome. I’m usually lurking somewhere around. Like Andersen, I was phased out and replaced by a contractor after almost eleven years with the same gig – and I worked for a non-profit organization that is supposed to help individuals with disabilities find jobs and stay employed. So getting shoved out was a real slap in the face especially since it was done purely for personal reasons on the part of a new Executive Director.
Keep posting – there are lots of good people here.
– peace
izzybean, I’m sort of a sporadic reader/commenter here. I take long breaks from social media and communication in general because sometimes everything just seems so overwhelming, I need to retreat and hide for awhile. But, I recently lost a friendship that was very valuable to me, and I admit, I’m really longing for some kind of connection. Like so many of us here, I’ve been socially isolated for a large portion of my life (mostly by choice), and until this former friend charmed their way into my life, I didn’t realize how much I really needed some kind of contact. I’m not looking to replace that friendship, of course, but it can be such a relief just to have a friendly face to reach out to. I’d be happy to chat and be in touch with you. I think you’ll see my email address when I post this comment, so you’re welcome to get in touch.
Andersen and Nozmoking, I’ve read your comments on other posts and I’ve come to really appreciate your input. Both of you are welcome to get in touch too, if you’re so inclined.
I downloaded a few of those nifty messaging apps all you youngsters are using these days, but I haven’t gotten around to creating accounts yet. When I do, I’ll make it public so the lovely people here at SP can say hello if they feel like it.
izzybean, I hope you find some solace here. As nozmoking said, there are some great people around. Keep posting. : )
Hello Izzybean and everyone
I’m pretty new to this site myself but it seems like the are a lot of supportive people which is nice to see people trying to help each other out, and in a way that comes from understanding having been in a dark place or still are in dark place and not just telling each other to snap out of it.
And of course I’m available talk if anyone wants to.
Izzybean, you can click on “edit”, and you should see my mail there below my name, you can email me anytime, or add me to kik with this same name, and start a chat with me in any of them.
You can email me too if you like
Your severe social anxiety is just a made up Identification for a natural reaction to sick insane society in which you find it impossible to lie to yourself that everythings fine. Dont worry your not missing much.
Hey Izzy,
I’m sorry that you’re having such a hard time with people at your university. I’m currently a senior and I know how hard it can be to see everyone around you surrounded by friends and joy while all you can do is watch helplessly. I don’t have social anxiety, but if you ever want to talk, feel free to send me a email anytime.
