Instead of just a list of goals, break down the goals into "questions to ask T" or something?
"I don't know how to deal with people well" is vague, if that's one of your goals. Think of some action you can measure for goals. I'd either think of situations ("I don't speak up when someone cuts in front of me in line") to work on or, what would be easier for me I'd set a goal of something like "Start a conversation with 5 strangers today/this week" and then do shopping, library, go somewhere and ask for information/call on the phone for information, etc.
A beginning discussion question with your T might be, "I have this list of goals (hand her a copy?) but don't know how to talk to you, what to ask or how to open a discussion to start work on any of them. Have you any suggestions?"
Most goals and behavior is specific and, like anything else we need to learn, it requires practice to become good at it. If you have difficulty talking to people it's probably because you don't do very much of it. If you feel uncomfortable, not very self confident, join your local toast masters group or some other (I became an officer in my "Friends of the Library" group) and get in there "practicing". You can't learn to do something in "theory" or by talking about it. You have to do it.
