Hedgehog's Dilemma and Social Problems

[Thoraxe]

well i know i posted this on a different forum but i was redirected here by Daniel and i wanted to see if anyone has the same condition as me which is the Hedgehog's Dilemma this means that i cant get close to people for the fear of either hurting yourself or hurting others and on top that i cant seem to interact with people for the reason that maybe i put them off because because im a nerd or maybe because i can answer questions in the blink of an eye (of course im talking figuritively) and hence making them intimidated by this but this has put me into a state where i cant stop thinking about it and quite frankly i cant live with myself like this almost to the point where i cant live with myself and i feel that nobody even recognizes me for being different instead they hate me for it so if anybody can plz help me plz do.

I am sorry the people cant see you are struggling Have you talked to anyone a professional about your social fears. I am afraid of getting to close to anyone because i don't want to feel the rejection. I would rather just stay on my own Rejection is so painful so i can understand that pain you are having. Talk with a psychologist or someone that can help you change in dealing with people okay. I just want to say i can relate and i know how difficult it must be for you take care.
