    About Me

    Hi everyone, I have checked out this site and it's really well done! I am looking forward to being part of it. I have been very shy since I was a teenager. At times I have been even phobic - avoiding almost all social situations and even public places such as the supermarket. I have worked very hard and have gotten better. I have been able to do so through the use of self help books. I am 41, married and have three boys.

    Interests

    My passion at the present moment are books on self help and spirituality. I tackle on a daily basis issues of self love and self esteem which I believe influence the way I perceive and relate to other people. Besides the above interest I enjoy, gardening, cats, lectures, t.v. and movies.

      Hey, been off line for awhile. Had no internet. How are you. I can totally relate to your phobia of people. It's really hard for me to go out and people don't understand. It's more than just being shy.
