After some lurking, I have decided to register, as you all seem to be a pleasant bunch. So here I am.
So, a bit about myself, and just a bit, as I currently am lazy to go into the messy details.
I am shy/anxious in many social situations and it's going to ruin my life if I don't change my ways. I have lost friends, not done as well as I could do academically and missed opportunities to get into romantic relationships because of my shortcomings. I might have also probably unintentionally hurt the feelings of other people without even realizing it.
The weird thing is, I was very hyper, happy and extroverted as a child. However, when I hit puberty, everything started to go downhill. The high school years were the worst.
So... my new years resolution will be to unlearn the behaviors and thought patterns that cause me to be the way I currently am during the next 3-5 years. I think it's a realistic goal, as it is about the same amount of time it took me to learn what I want to unlearn.

Anwyay welcome and enjoy . In my case, I would say it is worse. I remember being at ease in social situations as a child. For example, in a caffee my father often took me to, I sometimes walked up to total strangers and started chatting if I was curious about something. Somehow, I managed to lose those abilities during my teen years.
