I am 27-i have kind of always been
anti-social and very shy. I prefer being
alone or in small groups, it kills me if I
have to go to the grocery store. I live
in a small town and I am worried that I
might run into someone I wont want to. I
am not guilty of anything I just am weird
about talking to people. I am more
confident around people I don't know than
people I do. I am basically a hermit
crab! What kind of help would I need to
seek to overcome this? Any suggestions
will help. Thank you.

Nebraska you still there? Its anxiety I
think. And one of these days you are just
gonna have to 'face your fears'. I know
it is uncomfortable to walk past someone
you may know whether alot or little
because you dont knwo whether to say hi or
to just look down and ignore them or you
just dont feel like talking to them at
all. I know how you feel. I felt like
that for some time too. And there are
still ppl I know that I dread having to
say hi too when I know they are walking
towards me. Its annoying as the feeling
is so awkward but you just have to keep
your chin up and overcome the irrational
thoughts that are making you afraid of the
situation.
