I was an introvert and really bad at mingling and small talk until BD. One of H's many complaints about me, he called me "socially retarded." I don't know what happened, but you should see me now. I have more friends than I can keep up with . Most of them were previous friends, who I just connected with more deeply because I "had to"- I just needed them. And now I am not going to say I know how to "work a room" or anything but I am fine in social situations. I think that H broke my heart so wide open that I just changed into a different person.

Overcom, is there a group at your church that you could join? Maybe a women's group, or a moms group? They are pretty welcoming.
