> A) while I feel less anxiety when I'm "put on the spot", I haven't the 1st clue about proactively acquiring friends or breaking into particular social groups.>>Hi S.D., I hope you don't mind, my butting in, but I really feel for anyone who, like me, has trouble acquiring friends. I have exactly two, after years of actively looking. Unfortunatly, all I can offer are the same old cliches; church, volunteering, special interest classes(Gourmet Cooking?,ect.). I made my first friend in a theatre class, and the second at a writing workshop. From my experience, the only way to break into a social group, is to join one that has a purpose and is looking for members. Sometimes, making one friend can lead to making others 'through' that friend (his or her friends become your friends). Good luck and best wishes! CarolAnn
p.s. I'd love to hear how you progress, if you feel like posting about it.
