I don't seem to know how to be in or start any kind of relationship. I guess some would call that some form of social anxiety.

I guess my solution has been to avoid relationships, but I don't know that is a good long-term solution and might fall into the category of avoidance.

Someone told me to try speed dating. Someone else told me to do something ("anything") that forces me to interact with people in a non-work-related setting. So that is what I am pondering now.
