You know the closest relationship you will ever have is with yourself!
GAL is a choice Edz. It says, I am valuable, I connect, and I interact.
I understand that you feel shy, that is why activity GAL is good for you. I am shy, I have ADD and even eye contact is hard for me. But a smile isnt and I have learned to focus between the eyebrows so it is less intense. Activity GAL, gives a common interest and there are tons of activities to try, to taste and ultimately to enjoy.
Your job can be solitary and often you need peace to concentrate. I get it, I really do.
When you have been a member of a club, a group, a class for a while there will be the friendlies who go for coffee afterwards. Even my spin class does that, a general are you going for coffee today will set it off. I have a new GAL friend from boot camp and I text her today, we will go to Body pump tomorrow and then for a drink. May not be a life long friendship but lovely GAL. light breezy and will ask if GAL pal wants to do a hike sometime when Boot Camp finishes, you never know do you?
