Social Anxiety Support

I didn't use it much at all but after closing it, I feel a little bit alone. I feel more disconnected. I would see people writing on each other's wall and staying in touch, becoming friends, or even using it to ask each other out and becoming a couple... I guess I sort of envy that. People who use it to become closer friends. I am just floating through life isolated with no close relationships with good people.

Has facebook ever helped you out in any way? I did use it to ask someone out and it worked, but what am I supposed to do now?

Give it some time, maybe a few weeks, and see how you feel. I doubt it is the right kind of exposure for you. I know that's why I stay away.

I used to have a facebook account, but I closed it a while ago. I just don't get what is soooo fun about it, unless adding people to whom you talked once in order to have 400 FB friends is supposed to be fun...

The point of facebook is to keep in touch with friends you dont see often..

I felt a lot better after I got rid of my facebook. It was too tempting to look at people's profiles and compare their awesome lives to my ridiculous one.

I agree with Dempsey, give it some time, if its something you felt you needed to do then its good that you did it, if you want to create another account in a few days go for it, its all about how you feel, if facebook makes you uncomfortable then its probably not a good idea but if it helps a little bit then hey go for it.
