    i can relate to that... (hell can freeze over while people like us wait for a response to our tortured posts).....



    I wrote this years ago.... it sums up my affinity with your situation:



    Tortured Intravert

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    My eyes roam from face to face.

    I'm a tortured introvert.

    Me is centred on myself, I'm too scared to move my mouth.

    I'm separated by a mental gulf.

    Self obsorbed my mind consumed.

    Entombed - I wait for my life to be exhumed.

    I have this air and no-one cares, what I say, that I'm there.

    I want so much to be a part, but where?

    Nervous - Clumsy - Selfconcious.

    I'm in your gathering scared and alone.

    My feeble attempts to connect with you struggle from the corner of a mind fortified.

    Sometimes I let go and shine, a short lived testony of a legacy thats mine.

    Hidden from view, lost in time.

    My inherent destiny untapped, sublime.

    Oh, I'm aware that I allow myself to miss out on a lot of life due to my...insane amounts of anxiety regarding silly little things.

    Although it feels like an uphill battle sometimes, I am trying to work on it. :)
