Same here. Kinda. ^_^;; I'm actually really terrible at social situations, but it's not obvious online because I write better than I speak. I tend to speak too fast for my mouth to catch up, so I stutter quite frequently. And then when I stop stuttering, I realise I don't really know what to say.
But over the last few years, I've learned that if I don't know what to say, it helps to ask questions instead so other people will talk and I can add on to their answers and slowly make conversation. Maybe this could help?
As for jobs... aren't you pretty good with your hands? Why don't you set up a store on Etsy? It wouldn't be a full-time job, but it's a way to earn some money so you could go out more. :)
I think you just need to leave the house (and the internet) more, and you'll feel better already. :D
Honestly, I so understand where you're coming from. My first couple of years of uni, I just felt like I was in such a rut. I felt like I was doing the same shit every day, and I felt isolated from my friends, and I just... I don't even know. But things got better for me, and I'm sure they'll get better for you too. I just hope it's soon. *hugs*
Thankfully I get along well with my family, so I have no real issues there but as far as everything else? Yeah I TOTALLY feel you there hun.
I hate being such a sponge but adjkflj why don't good jobs grow on trees and not require 38957 years of experience? ;^; Reading fanfic, browsing tumblr, etc should be paid jobs, I would totally be down with that considering that's like, well, my entire life. XDD
I'm sorry I don't really know what to say to make you feel better but *HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS* you are a totally awesome person and you're made of sparkly shiny win. You may not feel like it today, but it's still there~ <3333
Okay. FIRST OFF *so many huggles* But afterwards, I have so much word on the socially awkward part. It was so bad in high school that most of my friends quickly became my boyfriends' friends and when we broke up I lost a lot of friends. So I had to learn how to make friends and quickly and honestly it just wasn't worth it.
AND THEN omg. Last year was so awkward. Because when you're socially awkward and that socially awkward response is to talk to a lot of people, you're know as that awkward person who talks to a lot of people.
So what I just said hasn't helped, just me rambling.
Basically, I love you a ton. It is incredibly hard for a lot of people to meet others/talk to others so you're totally not alone. Just, I dunno. Make random conversation. A lot of times, I've learned that if people aren't talking to you, sometimes, they want to but don't know what to say.
Jobs don't grow on trees so good luck! But I echo what fantasia said - You do make some awesome things (I still get complements on my heartless earrings, btw. <3) it may
