I'm a 19 year old woman who feels progressively anxious in social settings. When I was 12, my mother moved us to a whole new state, and I made friends quickly, but few of the relationships have lasted. I often find myself avoiding friends just because I don't feel like talking to anyone. I look at my friend's other relationships and realize that they have real friendships, and I don't. I am very jealous of their other relationships, but when I am in a social setting, I feel extremely uncomfortable. But, I want best friends SOOOO badly, but don't know what it really means. I feel like I don't have anything interesting to talk about, and find it hard to make eye contact or feel emotionally involved in conversations.
