In looking at my post history, I realized that before my recent stint in activity, the last time I was posting in these forums was 2010. Wow.
I think that merits an introduction. I'm zharl. I'm currently doing student teaching and am getting ready to enter the teaching profession. The last few years I've been pretty focused on work and studies and I find that I've neglected the whole having friends thing. I've sort of fallen into old tendencies.
My main problem now seems to be how exhausting I find human interaction to be, more than a fear of it, but I do still get anxious from time to time. Basically, I can form connections just fine; maintaining them is proving to be a bit more difficult.
For a while I thought that I had moved past SA, but I suppose like any other mental illness, it isn't something you "get over."
So...here I am. :greeting:
