Hello dwr3: The Skeezyks is an older, very solitary person nowadays. But I can recall, years ago, how self-conscious I always was around other people. Growing up, as a young child, manners were of great significance to my mother & her extended family. It was very important to say the right thing in the right situation & to do things in the proper way. I lived in fear of having to perform in some social situation. One of my greatest fears was to have to introduce people to one another. I was always scared to death I'd get it wrong! As I grew into my teenage years & young adulthood, quite a bit of that went by the wayside. But interpersonal relations have always still been a challenge for me... which is part of the reason I now just keep to myself...
