...I've had anxiety all my life. I don't do weird things. It just makes it really hard to meet women, or build a circle of friends. When I spend time with them, roomates, bosses, everything is ok. I just have difficulties trying to move it beyond work into friendship, or more. I've become really used to aloneness. Any advice you can give me? Pointers? sad :cry:

start slow? talk to people you're comfortable with and trust. and then go from there.

This is not a joke and I am not making fun of you, but have you thought about counseling??? Self-assertiveness skills would be helpful.

i totally understand where your coming from man. I am just the same way.. sometimes you just have to step out of the comfort zone and i know its hard to say it cause i have a hard time to do it myself.

It's easier said than done, but try and be in relaxing situations when you can. There isn't anything you can't overcome. I've dealt with anxiety, myself. Sometimes we simply try to do way too much, or push for what we want too hard.

I've been through counseling for a long time. That doesn't mean it isn't working. I've just had a lot of stuff to entangle...thanks
