I recently had a baby and before that was mostly stuck in my home.. I normally have very little contact with people other than my son. for we live alone. even when I go to a family gathering I don't talk much to anyone and stay by myself. I don't look anyone in the face anymore... I have always had trouble looking people in the eyes... and this has always bothered me.. why am I like this? Is there something I can do to make myself better and perhaps even go out and make new friends... for I fear my anxiety is going to make me very lonely. Any suggestions would help.. - I would perfur baby steps instead of huge leaps..

I get the same way. But it's not bad around people I know and like. If you feel like that's the case with you, I would recommend finding a friend. Just one person you can bond with and eventually feel comfortable around. Then add another friend to your twosome. As long as you have a friend around it makes it easier when someone new is around. Eventually you can create a small circle of friends that you can be comfortable with no matter where you go.

I would try exercising first, for some reason this helps, after that just take baby steps, when you go to your family try talking a little more, then maybe start getting on here more and chatting with people, that could help to.

Baby steps is theright way, sounds like you already know what do to. Try joining to exercise class or a new mothers club, are you ashamed of something, did something happen in your life to cause you to act like this. I think it did, email I would love to help you

Hi, you can start by joining the mother's club so you can meet other first time mothers too.
Also, you might want to go to a therapist who could probably help you figure out what's your feeling inside and what happened that you've become so shy.
Good luck and God bless!
