I'm lonely because I'm too shy and not social enough.

Somehow every day I realize I'm lonely because I'm not a social person at all. My husband is, and he's made lots of friends who I can hang out with, but I'm always the one who is nervous and anxious about socializing because I'm not as outgoing and I don't know what to talk about with others. <br><br>I'm not a good conversationalist. I'm also shy and not social, so it's really hard for me to initiate social interactions. I'm introverted, and I get nervous outside of my comfort zone. I'm always overthinking about making mistakes or embarrassing myself in social situations, so I'm afraid of trying. <br><br>I feel depressed and anxious because I don't know how to make friends. I've had trouble making friends my whole life because I'm shy and awkward. I don't know how to approach people or start conversations. I'm always nervous and afraid of rejection or being judged. <br><br>As a result, it's really hard for me to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. I feel isolated and misunderstood. I wish I could be more outgoing and confident, but it's just not my personality.
