I guess if shyness were an ocean, most of my life would be sitting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. I'm talking wayyyy beyond what you'd typically call "shy"... the kind where doctors get involved and even THEY label it as "very severe."For a long time I thought there was no hope for me whatsoever, I was at the point where doctors were recommending ECT. I opted instead to try a last-resort med and it's been life-changing even in a relatively short period of time. I can't say that journey is over yet, but I'm definitely getting there much more quickly now, and I think it's about time to focus on a lot of things I've missed out on in life and catch the heck up!
If it really matters, the "specific" disorders I was diagnosed with were atypical depression, social AND generalized anxiety, and avoidant personality disorder. Very appealing, I know haha
But for once in my life I'm feeling good and able to take on anything. I would NEVER have been able to do anything like this even at the end of 2009.As for what I'm looking for... Someone with a sense of humor and the ability to keep up a stimulating conversation is a must. I consider myself VERY open-minded and I really hope you are too. I've been withdrawn for a while and I'm fairly laid back, but I've always been attracted to high-energy girls, and somebody who can help me break further out of that shell wouldn't be a bad thing, even if I've been having some success of my own with it lately
