Thank you for your comments and thoughts.

I didn't look at the dates alongside the other threads, and it wasn't
until after I had posted that I realised that this group had been quiet
for some time...

Sam, i'm sorry to hear about your loss of your friend.

I appreciated your comments regarding stepping back and taking a look
at the vicious cycle that is shyness. It's a funny thing, I am totally
100% aware that I am creating my own fears and anxieties, but never
seem to be able to bring myself out of them.

I was afraid that my post was going to go unread, so again, thank you
for replying. Makes me feel better to know other people have finally
listened to how I really feel.

Talk soon.
