Hey 👋 I'm a 25 year old male with avoidant personality with anxious traits. It's really hard for me to connect with people. Is anyone here struggling like me? Would anyone like to chat and be friends?
My doctor says I probably have an avoidant personality with anxious traits. She also added that based on the interaction we had, I don't seem to have autistic traits and I'm mistaking one thing for another because the symptoms are similar. She also agreed to do tests for asd once the anxiety symptoms are treated first. Anyone else here with an avoidant personality with anxious traits? How can I be sure I'm that?
I don't know how to connect with people. I just don't know what to say or how to behave. I'm also too slow. I'm feeling like an obsolete robot. I have emotions but I can't show them. I'm too sensitive but I may look nonchalant from the outside. I'm not rude, I just don't know how to be human. I need people, but people don't see my presence. I'm stuck in life. I only see one way out of this and it ain't pretty to say the least.
Hey. I'm at the lowest point (so far) of my life and I don't have a single friend. I'm diagnosed with social anxiety and depression, but I may also have high-functioning / masking autism. I don't know how to behave in social situations and as an adult, it's getting tough every passing day. Is there anyone here who feels like I do? If so, would you like to be my friend?

I'm not even sure if it's just social anxiety. There might be something really wrong with me. I'm so socially reta*ded. Each day is lonelier and harder to survive than the previous. I have no one to talk to, no one to do things with etc. Why do I feel the need for human connection when I am not capable of attracting them? I'm sooo lost
