Actually, I was talking about my own ineptness at being able to do what you've apparently accomplished. I could not get into a group to allow her to socially interact. I know this about myself, and did not intend to project that onto anyone else. I have panic attacks entering a restaurant, going to the movies, attending the training classes at MAX, basically anywhere I -might- have to interact with people I don't know.
Hell, I get panic attacks responding to threads on anonymous internet mailing lists. And I see now I've made a fool of myself 'cause you weren't even responding to me. Oh well.
