Hi all! I joined this site a few months ago, and if you look at my profile, you can see that I haven't used it much. Being very shy makes it hard for me to do these kind of things, and talking about my diabetes is pretty non-existent. My mom actually introduced me to this site, knowing about my shyness, and hoped that this would help a bit with it. So, finally, kind of my early New Years resolution, I plan to use this website to gain more confidence and overcome my shyness, not only for my diabetes but my overall shyness.
Hey! Nothing wrong with being shy, I would love to help you overcome your shyness for your resolution! You can add me so we can message each other! My name is Caren and I'm 16 and I am on an insulin pump! :)
I think you have got off to a great start, just by posting. I hope you have a great New Year. And just like Caren said, there isn't anything wrong with being shy.
I used to be be shy too and also never talked about my diabetes but since I joined this site I have become more and more confident talking to people not just about my diabetes but in general! There is a lot of really friendly people on here who can help you with any problems as I found out! Hope this helps a little bit
Do you mind if I ask how this went for you? Currently struggling myself and I’ve nobody to talk to about things the whole diabetes thing kinda came out of the left field for me. I was reading this on meeting people in college which has helped a little but I don’t want to start talking heavy stuff with people I’ve just kinda met.
