Dear AzulOscuro, You sound like me. I don't think I can undo that way of being. Like you, I prefer to do a lot of things by myself. Like going to a place for amusement, if I'm by myself (when that was possible), I get to choose everything the way I like it. When reading a book, it's really nice if there's no one around to say I'm taking too long, etc. And this thing about not wanting to bother people, it definitely goes with low feelings about the self. By the way, did you know we have a social group here at the forums for social anxiety? Lots of us are there. If you're not already a member, maybe you'd like to join?
