Default Hello All I'm Tracy

Hi, I'm a 32 year old single mum of 2. I have always been very shy and found it difficult to make friends. I have friends but not close ones.

Since separating from my partner of 14 years a while ago I have become very isolated and find that my only socialisation is through work. I am a manager of an Opticians and love my job. I can interact with customers fine but I am scared to death of meeting people socially and find it hard to interact with them.

I have recently begun counselling and have discovered that I have an avoidant personality which I think stems back to my relationship with my mum.

I found this forum through researching this and it is a relief to know that there are other people like me and I'm not just weird!

Hi Tracy, welcome to SAUK

I've also got a lot from just reading the threads others have posted so far.

I'm also a single parent of two, and I find that having kids when you have SA can be really tough, especially as you're in a situation when you need extra support. On the plus side, having kids has made me go out and do things I probably would avoid if I had the choice!

Sx
