Newcomer

Good evening all. I'm a long-time reader, first-time poster who finally decided to step into the fray. In some perverse fashion, I've enjoyed much of the discussion here for the past few months, despite how bleak much of it has been.

Anyway, I'm a 21-year old college student who has not one clue of what to do after graduation. I used to despair over it, but now I'm just numb to it now. I don't believe in self-diagnosis so I won't say whether or not I have AvPD, but I do share some of the traits, namely self-loathing, fixed fantasies, mistrust of others and the self, and the "lonely loner" self-perception. Hopefully, this will be a cool place to commiserate, if nothing else...

Thanks for the non-verbal welcome. I actually haven't seen a wave like that since this one football game I went to once.

i was pretty scared what i was gonna do when i graduated and now i graduated i havent really done alot! best thing is to not leave it so long and just keep the momentum going and try and get a job as soon as poss

Welcome, Snowbunny. I'm in the same boat as you, sailing through college without any compass for navigation. Sometimes I wonder why I continue going to college, as I don't see how I'll ever be motivated to pursue any good career.

Hi and welcome.
