Don't let your social anxiety become a medical condition. Trust me it's not good.
I didn't really realize it as such until the past year or 2.
It's been ongoing for over 10 years or so.

I just know at this point not to put myself in places where I'll be too much out of my element.

e.g.:
Craft beer bars, I know I won't have problem striking up engaging conversations about good beers with complete strangers. Can tend to lead to other topics from there. My anxiety is non-existent.
General party bar or club that targets cheap beer rather than good beer. I more than likely won't even drink. I don't even know where to start a conversation from nothing in this situation.

To be fair, it is pretty good for a cheap beer but I much prefer a locally brewed porter or something like that.

D:

That is like saying a $5 hooker is better than all other $5 hookers just because she has full set of teeth. It just does not make any sense. :p

It's snowing balls. It was melting instantly earlier, but now temp has dropped enough for it to stick.
Probably won't be any more customers for the day. Even though a few called & said they'd be by.
If it starts getting bad, will probably close shop an hour or 2 early.

I can actually be quite good at socializing. The problem is I just don't want to most of the time.

Well, I had been wondering where that hot little piece of ass who won the VS model search in 2009 had disappeared to.

Turns out, she was married, still is married actually, but has had a bit of a religious epiphany, and believes that only her husband should be seeing her in lingerie/swimsuits/whatever.

What an idiot.

I'm above average here, though I doubt my height ever helps me with picking girls up.

It certainly does in my country. It is very hard to pick up fair girls and tall men.. there is a lot of "demand" for them.
