Hi there, just a little question that I have. Long story short from elementary I've always been a socially isolated kid. Bullied, Internet raised me, hence socially stunted, the whole shabang. I'm sure many of you have heard or even felt like this before. Only started recovering, or well building my social skills when I entered middle school so during covid's dusk. It was slow though and I met a couple of great people who would accept me but that's been slow and I never found someone to really stick to.

Now it's high school, only have a year left and I'd say I improved a bit. I found an excercise buddy to go with consistently but I'm still quite uncomfortable with people and in general I lack the reps that most kids go through, I don't mean to get corny but usually other folks, everyone around me basically went through the necessary milestones. Teenage love and ect. on how-to be human i guess. And yeah if any of you have any advice as to expedite ones process of becoming a social being that would be great.

And just to put it out there this is less me being sentimental and feeling lonely (though I do) and more of future anxities. Finding employment and obviously being social is a necessary skill for that I guess.
