If there are opportunities, on occasion, to try being just a bit more independently social that might be worthwhile. (After all, you do have a whole lifetime of potential social interactions to get through.) But I at least see no value in trying to make yourself do things you're not comfortable doing.

Perhaps it comes down to a matter of degrees. If you're just a bit uncomfortable perhaps it makes sense to put yourself out there. But if it really hurts, so to speak, why punish yourself? I personally don't think that's healthy. In years to come perhaps you may look back & wish you could have been more social. I don't know. But right now I think you have to do what you feel you can do within the limitations you have. My best wishes to you...
I really appreciate your comment and I totally agree with what you are saying. Why put myself out there if it is going to put fear in me. At least right now I just might not be at that stage after all I have been through with the past abuse to be ready to put myself out there. Maybe in the future I might be. I mean, most girls my age go to parties and hangout at Malls and I have no interest in that because I feel it makes me too vulnerable. Thanks so much for your response.
