Disordered while being an omnivert/friendless

Omnivert is where you're like... both either extremely extroverted or extremely introverted depending on the day. Nontheless, awhile ago I felt quite upset but suddenly I'm feeling really extroverted now. Sadly my sisters busy and I have my only close friend too but I haven't come up with a conversation to talk about + OCD is being confusing like usual. I posted a little photo on my story where it was sushi that I had today and got a reply, I responded back with an emoji reaction I got too nervous for some reason hshs it's dumb. I feel too annoying to speak to anyone, but at the same time I crave some socializing right now. It sucks.. besides during classes, (most triggering environment for me) I don't talk to anyone. :,,) Sometimes I wish I had some more friends to just talk to and play games and I don't know. Maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with this app, for the obvious reasons of course, which is to gain support with my OCD as well as my other mental struggles and many more things.. but also I just get to talk to real people! It's great. I just been feeling really lonely.. I'd say that I would begin to finally reach out and make new connections when I finally graduate this year but it doesn't help that I have a lot of trust issues towards people due to my past. : ( + shame from Real Events as well as overall social anxiety. Idkidk.

Hi VVbee! I was also pretty introverted and didn’t have too many friends growing up so I totally understand what you’re talking about. So just know that we are all here to listen whenever you need someone to talk to 🙂

Thank you..! <3 In my case, I've had variety of friend groups growing up,, half of them going incredibly wrong then the other just no longer continuing due to moving out or similar reasons. Then middle-school it was really bad and complicated so as of now I've just given up haha. Family is good though, I hope you still have your own special group to be with. : )

Most friends that I talk to every day are my friends I've met playing Playstation over the years. The app kind of has a messenger type vibe and we're all going through our own OCD journeys but here you don't have to be alone 🥰

Hi, I can completely relate! Growing up, I was very shy and didn't have many friends. This was especially true in middle school and high school. I would hardly talk to anyone. I was afraid of what people would think of me and I felt a lot of shame about my OCD. At that time I didn't realize that's what it was; I just knew that there was something wrong with me. That is a whole other story. I felt so ignored and craved attention. Even now, it's been 10+ years since I graduated high school and I still struggle with being social and connecting with people. I have gotten better though; I'm a lot less shy and more willing to try to put myself out there. Like you, I also have some trust issues, so it's hard for me to let my guard down and let myself be vulnerable. Despite the challenges, I think it's important to keep trying to find ways to connect. Now, you have the NOCD community to talk to whenever you feel alone.🙂

I'm lonely too, but it's so stressful being around people because of my OCD. I'm going to church with a friend tomorrow and I'm excited about it and dreading it at the same time.
