I'm insanely shy. I'm ok with people talking to me and can carry on the conversation but as for going up to someone and starting one thats another story.

I'm starting to think about what I'm going to do with myself this year now DD is starting full time school and I think some of the things I would like to do might not be feasible because of my shyness?

Am I making accuses? Or can I somehow learn to be a social butterfly?
