Its not that I'm not friendly or outgoing. It's the impression I give other people I want to change. If you're shy you tend to stay in your comfort zone of friends. You don't take social risks, you limit your interactions with new people. Instead of saying hi as you pass someone you've seen several times. I'm trying to be more open with people, strike up a conversation with them. Instead of passing a fellow parishioner and exchange casual hello's, stop and say hello Tom, or whom ever, shake their hand, ask them how they are doing.
Its hard to explain, it basically boils down to that fact that I don't want my experience with my STBX and the hurt and pain I've gone through to drive me into a shell where I don't allow anyone into my life for fear I'll get hurt again.
Karen, goofy is great, goofy people come up with the strangest ideas, have a different take on life, and are fun to be around.
Thank you for checking in on me.
