I don't consider myself overly shy but when my symptoms are acting up, I get so withdrawn. Really, I'm just saving people from my presence. But, this kind of backfires because I know I tend to be happier and more functional in my whole life when I have lots of fun times with friends. So I'm making a very purposeful choice to do more, initiate contact with more people and try new things. Still, I always feel so awkward and like people will know that I'm weird and they wont want to be my friends (though I have no evidence that this is true).
Anyone in my same boat? |

I love ppl and so fascinated with them. But I am always afraid they don't like me. Billi

I guess I avoid relationships because they always end.

My relationships always end before they should, too. Romantic or friendship - either way. I've never been able to really keep in touch with people once our lives head different ways, or we break up, or have an unpleasant conversation, divorce, move etc. But I love them - well, most of my friends/family/significant others are really pretty great and I love them. I'm definitely working on this part of myself. I know that all of my best features have developed because of the people in my life, so nurturing those ties is important. But it's really hard sometimes to open up, to trust, to get close.
Today I played hookey from work and ran errands and was in such a great mood, I talked to everyone I saw  It was great! Why can't I always do this? Do you know how many times I've sat awkwardly at parties!!?? grrrr.
