Hello Internet
Hello Internet. It's nice to meet you. You'll have to excuse me, but I'm very nervous about this. We can't see each other, but I'm still frightened to be talking about this. But I'm excited, too. I want to tell you all about social phobia. I want to learn what you know about this. I want to make myself a better person. I want to be successfully shy.
If you could see me, you might see me looking off into the distance, trying not to tremble. I could be ending the conversation when it barely started. Or maybe we just wouldn't meet, because I'm very good at avoiding conversations with others.
You'd like to know more about me? I am male, around 30 years old, and live in a major city in the US. I work at a job that require little interaction with others. I have a few friends and a good family. I am not totally debilitated by social phobia, but I want to live a more fulfilling life.
I would like to ask who you are. I've met some of you out there already, and I've learned a lot from what you've written. I'm sure I'll meet more of you in time.
