Is this social phobia that I see everyone talking about shyness? If so, was I unfortunate or lucky as a child that I wasn't medicated to take care of the excessive shyness that plagued me most of my life? Alcohol, liquid courage... Be careful. Some studies have shown that alcoholics lack normal reward functions in their brains so that the first time they take a drink of alcohol is the first time they actually feel *normal*. I know this feeling. It took me only 6 years to go from an intelligent gifted person with unlimited opportunities to a broken alcoholic suffering the H*LL of withdrawal. If it takes alcohol for you to feel comfortable in your skin, something is wrong. Good luck, Kim
