Default Is this you too?

I found this from a website someone referenced on this forum and it's so true about me....

"Another young man wants to go to parties and other social events---indeed, he is very, very lonely---but he never goes anywhere because he's very nervous about meeting new people. Too many people will be there and crowds only make things worse for him. The thought of meeting new people scares him---will he know what to say? Will they stare at him and make him feel even more insignificant? Will they reject him outright? Even if they seem nice, they're sure to notice his frozen look and his inability to fully smile. They'll sense his discomfort and tenseness and they won't like him --- there's just no way to win --- "I'm always going to be an outcast," he predicts. And he spends the night alone, at home, watching television again. He feels comfortable at home. In fact, home is the only place he does feel completely comfortable. He hasn't gone anywhere else in twelve years."

Not at all, I don't get invited to parties, I don't know where to meet new people, when I do just by chance I try my hardest to make a connection but it never happens.

Yep that's me. I've been invited to work-related parties and every time I have regretted it. Every. Time.

I'm really glad that I got an XBox and started getting into games. I'd helps a lot
