First time posting, here's a quick story on my situation.
I was born with a mild disability which affects my right leg, hand and my balance (I also walk with a slight limp). This never bothered me at all until I started college, where I became more aware that people might notice I'm not like most "normal" people.
From then on I've basically stopped going anywhere with lots of people and I always decline offers to go out with my friends. I can only manage to go out somewhere if it's with family or a close friend. If I find myself in a situation where I'm out and on my own, I become nervous and generally freeze up. I haven't a girlfriend since high school because of this either. I'm afraid I won't be accepted for who I am.
Anyways, sorry for the long post, it's the first time I've actually talked about this. I hope eventually I can overcome this, joining this site is a good first step I think :]
