Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying that. People seemed to be using the terms interchangeably and it's difficult to keep it straight.
Y'know, speaking from experience, these guys/girls would do a lot better in life if they actually got off the internet and sought help for their problems instead of projecting it on to others. I have high anxiety, depression and a couple other issues, but what helped me greatly was taking an 8 week group therapy on anxiety and coping. (I also took ones regarding relaxation and social interactions, plus more -- Don't think they're overnight miracles tho. I've been in therapy for 16 years and counting)
Starting small and expanding is what it's all about. A part of the therapy was also holding other peoples hands or arm/shoulder to get comfortable touching other people in positive ways. There was also lessons on practicing correct eye contact and a breakdown of mannerisms that are negative or show fear, as well as positive ones. -- Not also to mention having to at least approach at least one person per day and compliment them in some way. It's probably easier for me to do since I'm female, so I'd go up to people and compliment them on their purse, hat, jacket, etc. It made me feel confident, especially when a lady would smile and get chatty about where they got their purse and how much it cost, etc.
Due to all my hard work breaking away from being a hermit, I've been employed for the past 6 years and made nice friends and acquaintances at work and taking up art classes twice a week for more interaction. Sex was never the end goal for me as I'm asexual, but the feeling with going out with the girls once in a while is all I really wanted.
