Why haven't I seen improvement over the years if all it takes is practice? Why is it really easy in some places to talk to people and most places it isn't?

I'm afraid it was the opposite in my case. It was discovering that I really am different and not just saying that while pretending to be normal. My prior relationship sort of forced me to come out to myself, but didn't provide the understanding and acceptance that required. Now I'm single and because I've admitted my sexuality and gender to myself, I've realized that I have a MUCH smaller pool of people to choose from that I would be both physically and emotionally compatible with.
He doesn't want to be with me. Luckily, he's being nice and still talking to me so I'm not completely alone.
