   It's always a struggle for me too, though many people tell me I am social - a people person, I don't really feel like it! I feel awkward quite often! Bunko is fun, though, and I am glad you are feeling more comfortable - that's an accomplishment, just learning to accept yourself helps so much when dealing with others

   I also struggle with socialization and would rather to keep to myself. Once I get out and into the scene I do very well, but I have to force myself to be there. If not for my husband "the social butterfly"in our relationship, I fear I would have no social network at all.

   Hmmmm, I never heard of bunko. I just looked it up. Dice game, eh? What helps me is just to not care about what other people think about me. I look at it as, "Well, I'm going to be me, and if they don't like me for who i am, then that's their problem." and I move on. Of course, I don't conduct myself in an obnoxious manner or anything.
   
   Seems like we give others power over us when we place too much value on their perception of us. Know that you are still a person of value and importance even if someone thinks of and treats you otherwise.
   
   I still struggle w/how other perceive me from time to time and catch myself falling into this rut when it happens.
   
   Take care my big e-sis. =)
