I have a question for you all

Last night I went to therapy and we discussed our usual stuff and recent stuff.

We stalked about friends how I have some odd friends one passed away one became a mountain man one is in rehab and one is Sareen so anyways....

So marnie asked me if I had met any new people and I thought for a minute and said NO that I have not made new friends in years when I do meet people it isnt on my own it is usually thru work or my friends and when I do meet people on my own I freak and run away well I dont really run away but I will talk to them make plans maybe and then dissapear.

I get very nervious when meeting new people

I met my ex but that was thru a co worker of mine guys I have dated I met thru friends I figure that if my friend is friends with someone then they are good people but if I meet them on my own there must be something not right with that person..I met Jon on my own but he turned out to be a jerk.

So my question is this does anyone else experiance it marnie told me to think about it and that we could discuss it next week.

I would really like to know that it is not just me

any input advice words of wisdom???

I am a pretty shy person when I don't know people. But when I do I've been known to be pretty fun. Also sometimes it's like I have two personalities. One day I will be pretty outgoing, the next very introverted.

I know when I was battling my depression at its worst, I wanted to be around certain people, but for the most part withdrew from all my friends and even family.. I never even realized it.. It was my therapist who pointed it out to me and helped me see that reaching back out no matter how hard it is was what I need to do.
