so we've been here in denver metro for 4 months, and i have no job and i have made no new friends. basically i'm a hermit. a married hermit.

and it's no secret i love to knit. i've thought about joining a knitting group, for the main purpose of meeting new ppl, ppl who also love to knit! but i think i have adult-onset social anxiety disorder. i used to be a total social butterfly and looooved meeting new ppl. and until now, i've never really needed more friends. so it's hard for me to break out of that shell and force myself to be social. i get freaked out thinking about going to a knitting "meet-up" all by myself and being a total dork: "hi! i like to knit too! can i be your friend??" :P i know it's not like that, but i think it's just the fear of the unknown, and being rejected. which i've been feeling a lot of lately! so instead of going to the meet-ups, i just read about them on the members' blogs. *sigh* i'm so pathetic. just do it, right??
