I pretty much feel like an outsider looking in 99% of the time. I hide it well I think but sometimes it is so overwhelming it makes it hard to even leave the house. Even at the height of having a good time on our cruise last year I consistently felt like I didn't belong and/or just plain wasn't welcome. I think that is why I am so often seen wandering around alone just outside the center of everything going on. I've worked a long time at not keeping my own social phobia keep me from doing things socially.

But... what I'm trying to say here is rationally I know SO many of us have these feelings from time to time, even a big ol socialite like you mister. I'm not sure that "hanging at home alone watching dvds and tv" is the right answer here tho... dealing with feeling out of place by becoming a hermit... yeeeeah... that doesn't help things methinks.

You'll be fine sweetie and hopefully this will pass quick for ya. xoxox
