A few years ago I suffered from depression and during that time I drifted away from a lot of friends and sadly never really found the confidence to approach them again, build bridges and explain why I lost touch and what I had been doing with myself and my life. That time in my life had a negative affect on my confidence and to this day I find it hard to make friends. Over the years my confidence in meeting new people and making friends has grown but I still get nervous and tend to distance myself, worrying I won’t be liked.
