I'm not that sociable around anyone that I don't really know and I find it difficult to start a conversation about something unless a conversation is started with me first.

I've been told many times that I come across as a bit aloof at first, but once I get to know someone that's a different story.

For me, it's all about self doubt and negative self image. Will the other person like me? Is what I'm about to say interesting? Is it socially acceptable? Blah blah blah.

If you are attracted to the , what, in your opinion, is holding you back? Self esteem? Negative self perception? Past bad experiences? A fear of rejection?

There could be many things holding you back and you can work on it once you have identified it.

Be well.
