I usually try not to post if I have nothing solid to contribute (even if it's just a joke, ha!) But...

I wish I could tell ya buddy. Fortunately I have no experience with psychosis, but I have have been shy, introverted, whatever you want to call it, most of my life. From previous posts, it sounds like you are doing what I've read works for most shy people, just get out there and do stuff. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations, and next time it's not as uncomfortable. It has worked for me. I'll never work a room like Bill Clinton, but I've gotten much better.

My only real suggestion is to talk to you therapist (if you have one), and/or pdoc. Or at least see some mental health professional that might be able to help, or at least give an an informed answer to your question.

I wish you the best of luck! I know it's tough! Much internet love!!
