Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Turn off the PC and go find another human to interact with. It may be painful at first but it will get better.

Sorry mate, anxiety issues are tough to handle.

I was really going to say that, ask if he showed up is why they got anxious. I guess all the wow players are jaded towards that phrase. Over done or not it's one thing that always makes me laugh. Seriously everyone says you just can't overcome social anxiety. Truth is you can. I had it. You just have to get out their a little at a time. Too many people hide behind computer now days. Stand up stretch your legs and say hello to someone tomorrow at school or your work place at the store. Remember "baby steps".
