I have a great deal of social anxiety and depression and I spent a couple of years changing so much about myself to feel more confident and build self-esteem. But it wasn't working so I've given up. I talk to people at work (which is where most of my time goes) and whenever people reach out I talk to them but it's not all that often. I suppose I spend some time in mod chat as social interaction, though I'm nowhere near as active as you are on Discord. 

I guess I've driven my friends away too. Hopefully everything works out for you, if you want to talk I'm always up for it

I must be the only gamer without Discord, how does it even work? XD.

By the way, and that's not an intention in changing your behaviour, obviously. But I suffered about... 6 years ago from what they called... Some kind of "social anxiety"? Well, I was afraid to go to college, because I didn't get along with my mates. It was painful. And I had some anxiety attacks and a pretty strong depression. What worked for me was, only, some understanding people who was gentle with me, and understand that I was going through some dark times. They became friends of mine and everything suddenly dissapeared, so I can say that now I'm happy. I still hate the world from time to time, but who doesn't? But obviously what worked for me doesn't work for everybody else, that's for sure. And sometimes it's hard to meet that kind of people, I guess I was just lucky enough. 

I must say that gaming also helped me a lot through my life. It's a pretty healthy hobby as far as I'm concerned.
