Close Loneliness

Close Shyness

i've always been rather shy in situations. alcohol helps at times, but i'd rather not depend on that. as i've gotten older, my circle of friends has grown significantly smaller. I'd like to get out and meet new people, but it's easier said than done

Treatments

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

i did cognitive therapy and it has helped tremendously

Self-help Working / Worked

i took a positive psychology class, and applied what i learned. it definitely takes time and discipline, but once the exercises become habitual, it's like second nature.

Socializing Working / Worked

having at least one person out there to practice socializing with, or just confiding in did wonders, and allowed me to progress much faster
