I don't avoid anything or anyone really..thats not my thing, but when i like someone i get VERRRRRY NERVOUS and i try to put my best foot forward, being shy by nature...its always been hard for me to initiate anything with men so at times I just get very quiet and am unable to talk to the person
the problem is if they are as shy or even shyer (possibly having SA) IT JUST MAKES IT ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT.
I do get better as i know the person and feel more comforatble.
