Question - (22 November 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 November 2009)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

For a while now I have become really withdrawn in myself and keep thinking of excuses not to go to social gatherings or meet friends. I cant even answer the phone to my friends anymore cos Im nervous about talking to them and I dont know why. Im scared to take the intitiative and phone friends to meet or arrange a gathering. Ive always been quite shy but this is now begining to ruin my social life. Im 26. Why is this happening?

taylor8790 agony auntInstead of going to social gatherings, start slowly and work up to it. Arrange to meet a friend and hang out for the day. If you dont want to call them, send an email.

Do this for a while, and eventually invite someone else. work slowly and steadily and you'll get there eventually
