Introverts can still be social, they just need more time alone. You're mistaking it with avoidant personality disorder.

Then again, it's better than mistaking it (them) with antisocial personality disorder.

[Samus Aran]

I actually do have some friends.

Okay then. Go do things with them.

I'm not sure, it wouldn't surprise me.

Nope.

C'est vrai.

you should join like a club or a sport or some shit and work on your social skills.

You mean like half of Boyah did in the disorder quiz thread?

That's in part what I was thinking when I said that, yeah.

[Lotos]

Mine could be a lot better, but I like it the way it is right now, I guess.

[Thyme]

C'est vrai.

It's something that should be worked on for the sake of your own betterment. If joining a group activity is too much for you - hey, it was too much for me, all I've done recently was... well, find a job - there are still baby steps you can try. Stand more straight, look at people in their eyes. You may be already doing these things and if it's the case, I'm sorry for being presumptuous, but in my case I had trouble with those and I do a bit of effort to do them now. I don't know if it actually makes me look less shy, but at least I feel more confident.
