Having problems with message search?
Tony,
Maybe you would find it helpful to just practice being friendly in a group of people you already have acquaintance with, such as a church group, club or workplace. Start easy and work your way up to the more difficult situations later. That is what the cognitive behavioral approach recommends. There are some posts elsewhere in the list archive about this and about resources that others have found helpful.
One way you will know you are ready to move on to the next step is when your desire for a connection becomes strong enough to propel you along to work on making them, even if it is difficult. You have to decide when you are ready, but something within you will let you know. I sensed from your original question that a concern from within led you to ask. As several of us have said, help is available.
Good luck,
Annette

I'm afraid I'm still way too shy to move on to this step.
I think I'm much more comfortable around people I already know.
