A bit of a rant: I have this friend online who is lonely and heavily depressed but she also refuses to talk to people and put herself out there or talking to a therapist all because "she is afraid of people". I have no idea how to help her.
I was kinda like your friend. There's probably some obstacle that prevents her from working on herself. It's easy with depression/anxiety to just blame yourself while ignoring obvious external reason.
how can I help her, what made you get out of that situation
A lot of help and support from people around me. Without them I would never be able to finish my college. And then overcoming my social awkwardness with a patient and caring person. Also gaining economic independence was huge for me.
Do you guys talk?
yea almoat daily
Well at least they're not scared of you and you give each other some company
