Never been to Calgary, hear it's better than living here though. Except for the real estate prices! Outrageous!

I'm from Alberta too, doesn't it seem like rednecks are especially insensitive to social phobia- because they're usually so damn talkaltive!

Hey, I'm also 22, in Edmonton. I have a boyfriend and one friend who I've known for a long long time...and that's about it, so...its not exactly the same situation, although these people are really family like family to me. I know how you feel. I have no idea how to meet people. You're not alone. [/i]

I'm old,31. I also have a boyfriend and 1 friend. I have a million acquaintances but I don't have the social competence to take it any further than that.

Welcome Really_Confused!

Sounds like you are on the right track with sobriety and therapy. I can see how someone with SA could become alcholic, I've used alcohol for social situations quite often... I even remember being in high school track and field and bringing in a spiked coke bottle because I was so nervous about people watching me. I didn't know I had SA then though.

Good luck!

I am 21, i live in Calgary
