New to the group. Never really considered shyness my problem when I
was young mostly thought I just didn't fit. Anyway, as the years
have gone by I see myself as socially anorexic, not able to maintain
relationships. I can meet people and have developed social skills
over the years but my lack of "mixing it up socially" when I was
young has created the situation I am in today. It's not hopeless but
certainly not easy changing 50 years of being a certain way. Anyway,
my question is does anyone else find this to be progressive?
