Too adhd/social anxiety ridden to go out and meet people, apps are terrible, but it’s for the best, because one of the very few times I actually had contact with someone they gave me herpes, and I’m way too depressed to be around. So, uh, yeah, I need help but it’s not like anyone really can help. It’d be lovely to be intimate with someone again but I’d feel bad for anyone I let close enough for that. Sorry, overly depressing, you just kinda caught me during a crash and I’m desperate to let it out somewhere.

I feel you with everything you wrote. My theoretical take on “I’d feel bad for anyone I’d let close…” is that
What to do with all of this? Who knows… The struggle is real.
Thank you for your kind reality check. I know it’s not as bad as it feels… The problem is the feeling is part of the barrier.
Yeh, I know. This is as much of a reality check for me as it is for you.
I need to constantly remind myself that other people struggle too, they might just not show it.
It’s ok to have those feelings and to have that barrier. But peek over it from time to time, maybe there’s someone there peeking over theirs.
