OneMan answered Friday August 13 2004, 7:25 pm: That's a common problem. You have created a persona with the people you see on a daily basis, and that works for you. You like the idea they have of you. After awhile, you start to identify with their idea as the person you are, you define yourself by what they think. When you meet someone new, you experience anxiety because they may not see the "you" that you have come to like, and may see seomthing that you may not want them to see. You say you do fine in social situations withthose that you know. Try and focus on interractiong with the ones you know and while you are, the others will join in, feeling comfortable, and you'll soon be interacting with them without a second thought.
