Thanks for the replies Nef, juju and focus. Much appreciated.
Nef.. how did you know you needed IC? I am not against them... I don't really have an opinion since I never experienced one. I'm open to the possibility.

I think it's maybe because I'm very clear about being interested in them (I really am), the passions I have in my life and how I articulate them. People describe me as charming. So maybe it's about joining up what's on the surface to what's deeper inside me and being more genuinely clear and expressive about that? For me, anyway...that might not work for you?
This is interesting focus... thank you. I would very much like to easily connect with people. I'm fine talking with people but it is all superficial. Perhaps I need to make more of an effort in showing that I am genuinely interested in them. I definitely do need to find some way to join whats on the surface to what is deeper inside. I want that deep connection with people. Of course people's upbringing has a major impact here. My family really didn't talk about important things... we just didn't. But I think this is something I can work on. Thanks!
