Annette, Thanks for the links and books I'll check them out. So trying to be a different kind of person is not the answer. I was actually thinking I should try...
New here. I thought I was the oldest person feeling anxious about asking a girl out until recently, when I remembered a guy I once met in his late fifties: who...

Honestly, I would like to consider shyness as a gift, but not likely a gift that I might like and use. I have read articles suggesting that shy people are...
Hi Everybody, I'm new in this group. I'm 46 and I'm having similar problems as Tony or djoray or maybe many of you, so I would be happy to share some of my...
I have read Romek's writings. And I realize that everything that he said about SAD matches with me. But I come to believe that shyness is not the problem. ...
That's a bit of a tricky situation! I'm no expert on the matter but felt that I haven't made any contribution to the group for such a long time it was about...
