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.
