I like very much being around people whe I'm in control--like at work . It's a customer-service-type job, so there's a "desk" between us!

But one-on-one? Scares me right back into my cave, pronto. Even here online. It's not that I don't like it ... It's just not in my comfort zone. Part of the bipolar dis-ease, and why I'm in therapy and most days feel as if I will be forever. I can't honestly say it ever gets easier. But I have discovered the value of it. Maybe that's where the progress is, and not in it's getting easier.
