I've never had a girlfriend or any friends | The Sun
DEAR DEIDRE: OPENING up to people terrifies me so much that I’ve never had a relationship, or even any friends.
I’m scared that if I show what I’m really like, people will laugh at me or mock me.
I’m a man of 29 and desperate to change but I don’t know how to drop my guard.
I don’t feel like I have anything positive to offer anyone. I’m a shy, awkward guy.
I’d love to meet that special someone. Making some close friends would be a start.
When I start talking to anyone new, I don’t feel comfortable and have nothing to say.

DEIDRE SAYS: There’s nothing wrong with being you but you do need to raise your confidence and your belief in yourself.
The more pressure you put on yourself, the more self-conscious you’ll feel.
My support pack on Raising Self-Esteem should help.
Think about your hobbies and interests and get involved in activities where you’ll meet people who share them – so talking is natural.
