I'm no expert in the field, but i think developing more interests in thinks that exist outside of the internet, in real world might give us something to make conversations with people while being in our home ground/comfort zone. I've recently taken to cooking and baking and now its not as difficult to talk to my mother-in-law, so less anxiety and lesser fear of speaking something i wished to have kept in my own little universe.

though can't say how well it has helped me otherwise..i lose interests in activities at the drop of the hat...
