WELCOME TO SR! Lost!
Humans can be extremely scary, violent, maddening, sick, animals. However, those are the MINORITY. One thing to remember is you are human too. You anxieties may feel real, and your feelings very much so are, but people, in the majority, are wonderful creatures. They can be warm, caring, and HUMOUROUS! You're gonna miss out on a lot of great laughs hiding!
Not saying just jump on out there. Just work on it. Make some progress every day. Even if it's just baby steps! We'll be here to encourage you and I do think SR is a great first step to human interaction, safely.

Keep working on yourself, and before you know it, you'll be in those meetings interating face to face. Don't worry about rushing it or anything. Just take your time.
Kinda (sort of) like my unfounded fear of spiders (they ARE smaller than me, ya know?). I'd run at the littlest one, scream.. Whatever. Now that I've been cleaning a building, FULL OF THOSE NASTY THINGS, for a year, when I see one, I either chase him off or squash him, cuz hey, I AM bigger. And how is something, that size, gonna bite through my shoe? Maybe, a small chance he could climb up my pants leg, but the chances are minimal that he could get onto bare skin before I can smash him or run him off back outside. The wolf, black widow, and recluse (sp?) get smashed asap since their poison is very harmful to humans (and the wolf spider is never afraid of people, they jump at you, crafty terds), but the daddy long legs get picked up and put outside. Why I am telling you this, IDK.. Maybe for some of that humor?? hahaha...
Anyway, I am glad you found SR and keep coming back. Keep working on your recovery. Don't ever, ever give up! :ghug3
