could you just hang out with people you know already, and be happy, if you know anyone who likes that sort of thing? I myself get very anxious when i meet new people an end up doing and saying things I wish I hadn't. I am married for 23 years now, so i really don't have a choice of people besides my husband and the friends i have now, and i don't even feel like socialising much anymore. i guess I am content and happy about it. I could have ended up in other places and am so happy i am where i am now, considering i was where i never wanted to be where i was several times in my life.
