Hi There!

[Clairsy97]

Hey guys,

My name is Sam. I'm 20 years old and I live in Perth, Western Australia. My whole life I have struggled making friends talking to people. I left school two years ago and have not made one single friend. The people I work with are really nice, but I still struggle to communicate since I work in a busy cafe environment. I don't really have many hobbies, other than exercising and computer games. I hope to make some friends eventually and maybe even a girlfriend. I have posted in other forums, and not had much luck since they weren't very active. I look forward to talking to people and searching on what this forum has to offer 🙂

Hi Sam 😊

Welcome to the forums. We're a friendly bunch here. If you're after a chat heading to the social zone is a good plan.

There is a thread for under 25s which you are very welcome to join in. Pretty much you just search for threads that interest you and join the conversation so I'm sure you'll find some people with common interests in no time.

There are lots of threads dealing with social anxiety and trouble with making friends. I hope you can find some advice and inspiration here.

Lovely to have you as part of the BB family Sam.

Nat

hi Sam, a warm welcome to you.

Let's start by talking on this site which is a very busy one so once you get used to communicating with people might give you more confidence.

You may also might want to reply back to other people's comment, because you aren't the only one being in this situation and please remember what you are suffering from is a result of many different circumstances, some you maybe aware of and some which you might not, but please never feel lonely on here and you can go into our 'cafe' where light talk happens and not about anything in particular. Geoff.
