Fear of being around people, and growing up that way

[MadGuy]

I’m “Maddog” (Jim), and, this is my first post on this site. Of course I learned of this through Lucinda’s Stress & Anxiety course. I am 61 years of age (for the next few months), and, I have evolved into enormous interpersonal difficulties in inter-personal settings. Being retired now for 8+ years, with work, and it’s commuting environment being significantly difficult, it fails in comparison to past encounters, 5-10-15-20+ years ago. Let alone not dealing with the work environment nowadays. Mental health services offered minimal impact (to be generous), except for “black and white” (pen and paper) from specialists. I have no answers on the horizon. Any thoughts from the forum.

Hi Chris,
I’m just starting on my 4th lesson of the Stress & Anxiety course. I’ve been at it since about May, and, have taken about 3 weeks for each lesson, as I juggle a home study photography course, reading several books, and staying in my active, retired lifestyle (poor excuses, eh). I’m learning a great deal in the well laid out course curriculum. I’m very self-aware of my insights and capabilities, but, what I like are the reinforcing tips and the DVD testimonials, for example. I think I’m really going to enjoy the course, and, get a lot out of it.
