This section begins with some background about me and what it was like growing up.
This section then moves to stories about going far away to college where I continued to battle shyness, social anxiety, and social phobia. A phobia is often characterized by avoidance of the thing that you fear. So, this might be the best way to characterize my experiences.
By avoiding what you fear, you never feel the symptoms of anxiety. So, I didn't have sweaty palms, racing heart, and other symptoms as I contemplated trying to meet someone or ask someone out on a date.
In this section, I do discuss two females that I dated in college and had all of one date with each person.
Later, after this section of chapters, section two will move on to discussing my first love.
