Lately I've been feeling as though maybe what I really need are more friends. Right now I have one really close friend but often we are too busy with school to hangout which is sad because we are trying to start a video game club, but it hasn't been very successful because we're so busy with college. Not that my friend isn't good enough, but I really feel I could use a few more close friends. Perhaps that would get rid of my feeling of not belonging. However, at the same time I have major social anxiety and am afraid to get to know new people. I'm trying to get over my fear by going to college and stuff, but I still have some way to go and sometimes I even worry I may never get over my social anxiety. I've been working with my counselor on overcoming it but because I'm so afraid it's a very slow process. At college I'm usually what you would call a wallflower and hardly ever talk to anyone. I really do want more friends though but at the same time I'm so afraid of getting my feelings hurt by others. Sorry if this is a long post. Any ideas how I can get over this anxiety.
