I tend to need more interaction and things to do, than prayer and solitude all the time. Otherwise, I tend to get lonely and feeling the need to do something. Yet, at the same time, after trying a very active Order, I know I need a more contemplative, quieter life, but not totally like a hermit.

Anxiety can make dealing with people seem even more stressful. It really does make things seem more difficult than they really are. I remember when I was first diagnosed with agoraphobia (social anxiety) at 16 and I felt like everyone was staring at me. There was one classroom in college that had all the student desks up against the wall so everyone was facing each other (which was so goofy). It made me really paranoid like people could read my thoughts and were judging me. :blink:

When it seems to get out of hand, just step back and take some deep breaths. :)

Yeah, it does make me more sensitive.

I feel like a pushover at times. That one visit at the library, I had the woman start looking at DVD's in front of me, a guy barge in and put a DVD on the shelf without an "excuse me" and then the kid darting in front of me! I lack assertiveness and smarts to know how to deal with people.
