Of All The Traits about me....

I guess it's better than my situation. I'm totally the kind of person that likes to go out and be social, but because of the social climate in Southern California, it's difficult to just approach people you don't know without them being totally put-off, at first.

So, even though I do have a large number of friends, I often find myself feeling isolated and bored.

I used to be sort of an introvert, actually and I don't know what it was, but after I got out of high school there was like a complete paradigm shift.

How old are you? It might just be that you're coming into your own, this is the time when you need to crush that fear. Everyone has a certain level of inhibition in this regard, the people who are successful in starting relationships (business, platonic, romantic, etc.) are the people who learn to ignore this fear.

I mean, seriously, the worst they can do is tell you to fuck off, and then you know they're not the kind of people you want to waste your time with. Dust yourself off and try again, make conscious efforts and eventually it becomes habituated behavior.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
