New and Shy

Hey everyone, As the topic says, I m new here and kind of shy. I do not really feel comfortable trying to friend people because in the real world it is hard to fit in and get acceptance and I have been conditioned to "stay against the wall" sort of speak.

So, if anyone is in the same boat, or would like another friend, then feel free to friend me and I will be happy to have you.

    Hey there, I am new here as well and while I do great interacting with people in virtual land via internet, I struggle with social anxiety in the real world, so hang in there, you are not alone!

    I think a lot of people on here are just as shy as you are. The key is to get new friends on here to help motivate you.. I too, am shy, but I think on here it's easier than in person! Good luck in all your weightloss journeys!

    The more the merrier. I would find it really hypocritical to reject anyone. Everyone has value, unfortunately, sometimes we do not see it in our selves. Thats what friends are for.

    welcome to MFP! I would be glad to be your friend : ) Take it from me..Fitting in is over rated!! We all have strengths & weaknesses
    and real friends accept us as we are and no "fitting in" is required.

    This is going to sound retarded. But where do I find the friend requests so that I can accept them?

    go to "my home" and on top in a pink bar, just click on it and then hit accept on the right hand side in the green box (same as "post reply box)
