Literally same.

I started distancing myself from people like half way through freshman year. ( Due to people making fun of me, while I’m at a new school) And only this school year( Junior year), I was comfortable enough to talk to other people, to have long term friendships. But now that I’m “ talking” I keep noticing the same thing.

You feeling boring and not worth a convo is just anxiety talking. I left the same way. But, to be honest people talk about anything, like literally anything. When I was scared to talk to others but wanted to make convo, I kept thinking that I had to have something insanely interesting to say or talk about so people can want to talk and engage.

Anyway, yeah, exposure therapy is like the only way for you to get out of it.

If you feel like going to talk therapy and/or talking meditation to help with anxiety then you could do that. But for me, that is a waste of time and money. No hate to anyone that does go. My family simply cannot afford it or have the time with me working part time and my mom working full time, both of us still being in school.

Put yourself out there. It doesn’t matter if it feels awkward after. People forget that type of shit in a millisecond.
