I really struggle to figure out how to get a healthy social life. I mean, i no longer speak to my high school friends, mainly because i grew apart from them. don't get me wrong, it's good because they go out often, clubbing/to the pub etc, but i rarely drink alcohol any more and, not just that, but we seem to have less in common. for e.g. they only really talk about football, girls (which is a good thing occasionally, but not all the time) and partying.
anyway, apart from my old high school friends, i rarely go out and i only have like 2 friends. one of them is working a lot and i don't really see him much, and the other, well, he is in a similar position to me, but he has poor social skills. If i was to go out with the latter friend, it would be awkward because he doesn't really know how to talk or converse with people, then it just ends up awkward with me having to come to his aid.
i am not saying i'm a great conversationalist, but i am aware of what to say and when to say it. I know when to ask people things, how to keep a conversation flowing at least. don't get me wrong, i could have more practice, but for someone who has suffered with social anxiety and depression for the last 4-5 years, i think i do okay.
anyway, i would like to meet girls, but it's so hard when you have almost zero social life and hardly go out places.
what do you guys suggest?
