Hi there. Just keep on keepin’ on! I know this probably sounds insipid and idiotic, but it’s mostly question of “just doing it”. In this day and age, there must be plenty of information available on the Internet, so you may wish to seek out some guidance and support that way.

My angle is a little different. While I was PAINFULLY shy as a boy, and had no social skills at all. I always wanted to have human contact – just didn’t know how to go about it. Of course, there was no Internet to Google in then, so I was S.O.L.!!! lol

No offence, but…count your blessings and be glad you’re not a man in this situation. People will go out of their way to meet and support women. If you were a man with social phobia, people would mostly just leave you alone. That might sound easier to deal with, but a pretty girl will at least attract social opportunities. Better to use those to practise than to be the shrinking violet in the corner.

If it’s any hope, if I can do it, so can you! LOL Cheers!
