Alone

[loveyoutoo]

I know how you feel. A few years back I had that feeling constantly of being alone, regardless of whether or not I was around people. Fortunately I just forced myself to branch out into new areas in college like clubs, groups, or any other group I could. It didn't improve instantaneously, but with practice comes improvements. I've noticed that there so many interesting people that go unnoticed because of that fear of rejection, but keep in mind that it's not like if you strike up a conversation with someone they will say "Are you trying to become my friend? How lame." I'd bet that if you just take that plunge, you would gain more confidence. The first step to realizing a problem is realizing you have one. Since you seem to know the problem, you've already begun to improve. Have hope and just take those risks, cause chances are they are not risky at all. Know that you are never alone in what you feel, no matter what.

Best of luck, wishes and prayers.
