What if you take very small steps towards a goal like building friendships? Maybe you throw it out on this message board, and it starts with exchanging messages on here, then you graduate to text messages and so forth and so on. I feel like we can all get where we want to be, but it doesn't have to be a giant step. Do what you're comfortable with, and just push yourself a tiny bit. Even if that tiny bit is starting a list of what you want.
