I keep making this particular mistake over and over again. I somehow convince myself that I am like the people in a particular group, when I haven't taken the time to get to know people well enough to make that determination. I had one therapist tell me it can take a good ten years to build up some kind of social life once you move to a new location. We've only been here for three, and I can't resist the urge to make things move more quickly for myself socially.
