    Taking this first step.

    Hello, I am a 41 year old dude who has social anxiety. I decided that instead of letting the fear get the better of me, I should peek out of my shell and try to interact with others like me. Hopefully this will allow me to gain some perspective with my anxiety and meet people in the process!

    Great to see others popping out of their shell. We have a good survival rate here when it comes to scrambling off and on the beach. Speaking in turtle terms that is.

    Good, I'd hate to interact with members and then be eaten by a bird of prey!

    Yeah, it was about time that I took a step forward and looked for people like me.
