Monkeybug, I have the same GAL difficulties. Part of the problem as I see it is we need to force ourselves (give ourselves a kick in the ass) to do things with other people even if we do not feel like it. A perfect example is you were invited to spend time with friends with the possibility of meeting other people....instead you will spend time alone at a movie theater. I have the same feelings and need to get out there. it is very easy to shut down and sulk in these situations (I am living proof of that), It does us no good. So if you still can, get out there, see some friends. If you are not having a good time, you can always see a movie later.
