I'm certainly over the EXTREME anxiety (which was approx 11 years ago!) but I will always be affected by shyness, and it will always alter the way I look at myself and my whole outlook on life

response to first post and only first post:
1. i'm still somewhat shy. but i don't care anymore because i've developed friendships with a few nice people.
2. having friends gives me great confidence and lessens anxious feelings.
3. i've figured out that it is all in my head (no duh!). i can now separate what my shy personality wants from what my social personality wants.

yeah. if it helps. maybe i've also "grown out of it" a lot. i realized that i wanted to have friends. i don't care if i'm super social, i just want a few people i can trust and talk to. when i first came to this forum someone replied to one of my posts asking "do you even know what you want?" that was a wake-up call, because my mom had also asked me that same question. step one: setting a goal/knowing what you want. i thought that i didn't want to be around a lot of other people, because it made me uncomfortable. but i definitly knew i did not want to be friendless. everytime a decision comes before me, i think about what the shy factets of my personality want, then what I really want.
