I'm really glad you didn't think so! lol.PureElegance wrote:really? For some reason I didn't think of you being that way :B
I decided it wasn't helpful in overcoming it by talking about it that way, which is why I deleted my post (). And now I just made things awkward methinks...
But yeah, I'm so envious of/enthralled by people who can just naturally open up and connect to everyone (like elec)--I really hope people like that realize what a strength it is and how much it improves their lives.
Also, I missed Lem's post--Lem, your struggle sounds just like mine. My first job was a major step in overcoming it though, so maybe your work environment can be helpful to you too. There's really nothing more you can do than metaphorically plug your nose and dive into social situations, though. It's scary, but close your eyes real tight (figuratively ) and forget about what you're doing--that's what I try to do.
