Hey you don't sound pathetic or stupid at all!😀 I know how tough social anxiety is and you actually do seem to be handling it pretty well being in class😀 if two people have asked to be your buddy that must mean they like you, proving that in time other people will aswell. I think the main thing with all forms of anxiety is takinf small steps at all time. So instead of thinking I may not be able to finish the buddy list, think we'll so far I have two people and today I'll try to get one more. A good way to start is by simply smiling at someone or looking someone in the eye for a few seconds so that it shows you've acknowledged them and they have to you😀
Always welcome to
