Don't know exactly why I'm writing this. Maybe the subject explains things. Since I don't know who's going to be reading this, or what they might think about...
Hey I wish I knew what to tell you. I'm glad you came to the forum, hopefully someone here can help you out. I know I'm just as lost as many people here are....

Hello. This is my first time as a member of a group like this. I've looked at some of the other posts and saw that other people have some of the same problems...
Well, that would have exactly described me 16 years ago. I don't think your behavior is that unusual in certain circles. At the time I could have named a...
I can relate to some of what you said I work in a technical job and even though i know the stuff im talking about really well if im front of a customer and...
well, I'm no PhD scientist, and probably not nearly as smart as you are, but I'd imagine at least part of what you're experiencing is you don't feel...
Howdy, all. Thanks for sharing your opinions and experiences. Although I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it is a bit comforting to know that I'm not the only...
primarily i feel that way because something like 90 to 95 percent of the things I like to do and make me happy require at least one other person. Setting aside...
Thanks for you reply, yeah i do feel more comfortable if i have a level of control on the conversation i have with people i find it very easy to talk to people...
Hi y'all, My god, I feel like all you guys are my brothers and sisters, I can totally relate to all of you. The strange part is, I was completely outgoing...
And what happened about the time of the 8th grade? It might be helpful for you to remember that. I fairly often got paranoid on pot (haven't used it in many...
Well similar in the sense that, like you, I'm very successful intellectually and I enjoy and am good at public speaking and lectures. I've always thought this...
Hey! I feel the same way. I don't mind speaking to groups of people. I used to read the epistle at church and that was alright. I just can't make small talk...
Hi Jeremy, My parents are kind of half and half my father is quite outgoing and extraverted and my Mother a little quite. I'm not sure about the genetic angle...
Hi Will, IMO, you should not settle for a non-social life. There are many things you have yet to learn or try. Check out Debra Fine and Susan Roane. Both have...
Well I closed myself up by grade 8 because I was always very sensitive to criticism from other people, especially my peers. Ive always been more emotional...
But that doesnt help me with the way I feel about just talking to someone because i am interested in a relationship. Will look into it. Happy Easter all! : )...
Hello, gang. There have been many interesting posts over the last week or so. I was especially intrigued by what Jeremy wrote about smoking dope. I always...
the sad truth is you can't hope to pick up the lead cheerleader (assuming you want to) unless you're not only rich but play the game, which means not only...
Humans are just a bunch of monkeys as far as im concerned (no, im not stoned) and whenever you have to interact with them in a group, you just have to see it...
Allan, I have certainly felt this bitter and despairing, others may have also. In my case, I had been forced from day one to interact with a severely ...
well, the limb didn't break. I think you're pretty close, if nothing else. It's just, whatever this is, a combination of things including my work history,...
Thanks Biance for commenting on my posts. : ) In theory, It should be fairly easy to sell my used car. Practically no miles on it LOL... : ( What you...
Hello, everyone. Allan, I'm sorry you feel as you do. I don't know that I've ever felt as hopeless as you describe, so I'm not sure I can offer any advice....
Hi everyone. I joined this forum to help overcome my shyness. I've been shy for as long as I can remember and it has always been a problem. I can't give...
Ashley, I am an amateur photographer and suffer from shyness, so I know well how it can hold you back. My advice is to learn your craft well enough so that...
Thanks so much for replying to my message. I'm kinda freakin out right now because I have this assignment for school where I have to photograph a professional...
