and a belated happy birthday to you. Your list above is great.
A few ideas:
o it sounds like just getting out and meeting people would be good for you. Are your meetups themed, that is, centered around something? I think having a center would make it easier to socialize. o what are your fears? List a few here if you like. What do you want to learn/gain from doing so? o practicing conflict sounds useful for you. Can you role play with someone? Can you mentally rehearse? o I don't understand the draw the line with money issues point. Could you clarify, please?
Good luck -
