Default Hello :)

Thought it was about time I said 'Hello' after lurking around the boards for a while

I've had social anxiety since high school although its lessened somewhat as I've aged, but I suppose that's more to do with the fact that I go to the same places with the same people and am set in a routine.

I used to actually like going to new places and meeting new people (until high school ) but the fight or flight response is overwhelming now - I went to a relatives birthday party a couple of years ago - unfamilar place and lots of strangers - and was practically frozen to my seat for the whole night; couldn't even have a drink because I was terrified that I'd spill it all over myself I wasn't on the booze at that point, but by God did I need a real drink after that

Anyway, just thought I would introduce myself before I chicken out
