I'm not talking about friends and family. I've shut them down completely. I mean that even in online communities like this, I feel anxious communicating with anyone. I've had this account for months but felt like if I posted anything I would regret it because I would feel like I made a fool of myself, does that make sense? Anyway, the one person that I can (sometimes) bear communicating with is not answering me and I feel so lonely. And I guess I can't possibly find a community with more like-minded people so this is the least scary place I can write in. Hi?

I completely understand. I read this site for a couple of years before I made an account and now I hardly ever post. It's not that I have nothing to say, I'm just anxious about it. From reading posts on here and the little interactions I've had, the people seem very accepting and you don't have to be concerned about making a fool of yourself.

Welcome. I have always struggled with communicating, it is not something I am good at, but I am not that interested in it anyway. I just post on here to pass the time. There is no need to feel anxious about posting. Hopefully you hear back soon from the person you are communicating with, I know that for many people loneliness can be painful. I wish you the best.

Makes me feel a little better to know that I'm not alone in my feelings. Yeah, most people here seem nice. I know I'm anxious for no rational reason.

Thank you. I'm not really interested in socializing either, infact I try to avoid it, but zero communition at all makes me feel horrible.

I know what you mean.

People seem very understanding here, though - after all, we're all just in different seats on the same boat.

Feel free to get anything off your chest that you need to.

Nicely said. It's one thing that makes us equal here and that's the reason I keep coming back. I have 2 kids, so CTB is basically out of the question, but my life is hell and I find comfort here. Enough to keep me in this world for now.
I know people are quick to judge a parent. But believe me, we're just humans like everyone else and we get stomped on like others too.
I'm currently being sued by my abuser cause he's furious I left my old existence. Setting my life straight at this point with all the anxiety, the panic attacks, the depression and so much sexual harassment in the past, is easier said than done.
Trying my hardest to pull through.
I'm very thankful for this place.

Thank you so much. I'll try to utilize this place. I hope that I can feel more comfortable with time.
