how can i connect with people in society

[c=004A59][i]like i go swimming at the gym a couple times a week and at times i see some really nice girls swimming in my lane, like i did today, there was some nice slightly chubby pale girl swimming in my lane...i had my snorkel on and just ignored her and continued to do my laps....but i desperately wanted to talk to her or say hello...but i didn't know if it would of been the right thing? i am very reserved and shy and quiet character...so no interaction happened.....plus i'm afraid of rejection too.


i have no adult relationships or support system as i have dealt with mental problems all my adult life and just found it had to mix or interact with people.[/i][/c]
