I have had two really close friends in my life. I am socially inept, and things just blurt out of my mouth. I want to connect with people and stop being so antisocial, but when I try, people just look at me strangely or find some other reason to avoid me. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar because I had extreme moods but that has calmed down significantly as I get older. I want to break out of this but I can't figure out how. Am I doomed to spend the rest of my life as a socially inept outcast? The ironic thing is that I'm a psychology major who wants to go into counseling.
