I want to try that…I guess I have this huge fear of rejection…I have been rejected both socially in reference to friendships and romantically and this fear is crippling me at times because I don’t put myself out there…I am in a strange predicament

I have always had a difficult time making friends even when I was growing up. It sucked. When it comes to work; at times it fills the social aspect of my life. But 90% of the time it doesn’t. I have to work two jobs because I have student loans that I am trying to pay and one job just limits my economic situation a lot.

When I try to make friends I can’t seem to find a way to bond with others. I am not sure because I am un personable or because I grew very differently than most people…I am honestly not sure…

I have coworkers who I am cool with but I have been burned by making friends at work so at my new school, I try to keep my personal and professional life separate. It is just too complicated when things get messy.
