Yes, I can relate to social anxiety, especially at AA meetings. There are a lot of factors behind this. For one, this early on in sobriety, Im unable to really put coherent sentences together, so Im afraid if I share I sound stupid. Another thing, is deep down, I want to keep people at a distance. I feel if they got to know me or found out about me they'd ditch me. And lastly, I have a hard time opening up and being honest about my drinking (although I have no problems doing it on SR, thankfully). These are all things I would like to get over. Thanks for your post.
