I suffer from social anxiety and it makes it hard sometimes to find a roleplay partner or to role-play in general. I have a few role-plays going on that are absolutely amazing, but I'm struggling to find more due to this illness. It's difficult to reach out to people and to start a role-play. I'm sure that I'm not the only one suffering from this illness and maybe some others. This makes me feel better a little bit honestly. I just want to say that I'm here for you guys.
I totally understand. I cannot make myself join an RP for anything. I always have to start it. Please feel free to message me! I would love to RP with you!
Also, social anxiety is so hard to deal with. I'm so sorry you're struggling. It can be debilitating. You're doing so good by taking a step and being on here though!!!
Role play is a great way to work through your fears and problems in a safe way. I think role play and writing is just free therapy.

I struggle with anxiety (generalized and social) along with a few other things that make it hard. I'm not gonna say it makes me feel better to know that other people have the same problem....but yeah, it kind of makes me feel better lol.

Everyone has different solutions when it comes to this type of thing but I used to have social anxiety bad until . . . wait for it . . . I just stopped giving a darn
no this isn't me trying to make some witty remark about ¨Just ignore them¨ or whatever, I seriously eventually realized that I shouldn't really care about there opinion that much to be so anxious about it. and if its around my friends or someone I do care about there opinion I still do my awkward stuff cause I know that they don't really care about that, they just know its me being me. but now I'm just rambling on, sorry. I really hope this will help you out and maybe give you a way to cope with it just as I did ^-^
