Maybe you are just scared about coming out of your shell. I know it's hard to get to know new people but if you stick it out you will become one of their friends too. I just put myself out there and did make alot of nice friends especially at church, although i only now have a eucharistic minister come to my home on Sundays. The reason for not going to church for me is because i get seizures. For you i think you've taken the first step by going to the church. Keep up the good work!!!
