Hi everyone! I've been reading these boards on and off for a while and I just registered, so I though I would introduce myself.
Are you living with your parents/grandparents? No
... unemployed? Yes
... married? No
... children? No
... an escapee from a mental institution? No
... a troll living under a bridge? No
What is your present age? 20
What is your gender? male
Where do you currently reside? Kalamazoo, Michigan
Are you living in a town, or an unincorporated rural area? Town
Favorite movie? All James Bond and Star Wars films
Favorite song? Aerials by System of a Down
What is the nature of your shyness? ... is it preventing you from achieving
your goals in life? ... what ARE your goals in life (if any)?
Basically, I have an extremely difficult time talking to most everyone. I can never strike up a conversation with strangers, and often not even with people I know. When I do talk to people, I tend to say very little and feel like I have nothing to say. I think that I am generally very self conscious, thinking that what I say will be judged. I fear that my shyness may hinder me in my future career, and I may change my major in college as a result.
Have you made any significant progress in overcoming the condition? Not much, but a little. I have begun interacting with people a little more.
What is the nature of your relationship with your parents? Very good

If they have separated/divorced, how old were you when it happened?

How many friends do you have? ... any of them that you would consider "close?" I have 3-4 close friends that I haven't seen since high school. Now I have about 6-8 or so casual friends/acquantinces.
Who is the most important person in your life? Not really sure, but probably my dad because he's always been there and has taught me a lot about life.
What are you interested in? Aviation, auto racing, reading, writing, history, video games.
Do you have any religious beliefs? Roman Catholic
If so, how often do you attend your church/synagogue/mosque/whatever? Every sunday
What do you like to do for fun? Hang out with the few people I know, read, watch TV, Go to sporting events, hunting, fishing.
