Unfortunately your T is absolutely right... you don't run a marathon right away, you practice and you fall a couple of times... as long as you get up. Sometimes we feel so out of sinc with life that we don't know how to get back in and live again. I isolate myself from the world because I am different and I believe no one will understand me anyway... cause I can't meet someone and say Hi, I'm Pixie and this and that happened to me in life and now I'm a bit crazy... I always have to pretend and have to hide my weaknesses. Getting in the social game is HARD, but very necessary. There is a saying that says time heals everything, I believe that was a typo... it is meant to say that love heals everything, and love you find in relationships (friendship love etc.) I wish there was an easy way, once bitten twice shy, but you just have to dive in head first and have a little faith that people don't hate/judge you as often as you think... My mom always said that of the almost 7 billion people on the planet, someone is bound to like me, but I'll never know unless I force myself in social settings and actually open my mouth to start a conversation with someone.

I guess you already know what to do anyway... just need a little motivation? GIVE ME AN S, GIVE ME A U GIVE ME A N... you get the picture... I'm rooting for you, now get out there...

Best of luck
