Hi LSC
I am having the same worries. I wonder how I am going to mesh in with the regulars after 8 years of acting like Barney from the Simpsons. Slurring out sentence fragments and belching loudly is no longer going to work. :rotfxko
Since reading is something I enjoy and I learn best that way, I've decided to start devouring books about people skills and how to talk to, relate to, and resolve problems and disputes.
One thing is most of this social difficulty is just going to be up in your head. As long as you are friendly and you smile, nobody is going to not want having you around. That's important to keep in mind
