Newbie - my story

[maybs]

I am also introverted and want to back out 90% of the time but make myself go anyways.
I don't really like to meet new people either. I also have 1 friend who is going through something similar and we spend a lot of time together.

What has helped me keep my plans is I try to start doing things by myself. It's much easier for me to commit to something if I know I won't have to meet new people.

Now that I'm more comfortable doing these things alone I'm going to start adding in "other people". For example I've always done yoga or tai chi alone at home, but now I've found places near me that give classes. I figure that way at least those people have 1 thing in common with me.
