I must disagree with Bill's analysis. His attitude has
an unfortunate similarity to that of my father's. The
idea that if you have trouble meeting people that it
is your own fault, and you should deliberately seek
out things to do to overcome your shyness can become
downright irritating. If you aren't happy at parties,
singles bars, dances and other gatherings, it is likely
you will make yourself miserable going to them, and lose
your sense of self-respect. Better to wait for the unlikely
to come out of the blue than to torture yourself by
prostituting your dignity. Caveats:
My life experience is rather limited (19 yrs.), and after
many long years of painful waiting, the Long Awaited One
seems to have slidd into my life without the unpleasant
need to do anything except attend classes.
