Answer 1

Why is it that everyone assumes that introverts need counseling (I.e.) answer above.  You will improve better with age.  Introverts are the types that are inward and a little more serious.  Embrace the fact that you take the time to trust people at your own pace.  Take this test

Answer 2

I can't really answer the question on web sites to chat with people, but I do have some advice from personal experience.

I was a very introverted as a teen and could never look anyone in the eye. I stayed pretty much the same into my early twenties when I was forced to get a job dealing with the public. I worked at a very busy, upscale deli. I had to deal with people. Although I didn't care for the job, it did teach me how to communicate with people. Now I have no problem talking to anyone.

Sometimes it just takes some people longer to find out who they are. Don't get too worried about it. Dealing with people in a job format helped me. You have the security of being at work with a set of rules on how to treat people but also gain experience just talking to people. After some time, you just get used to talking to people and it becomes natural outside the job setting as well.

where does all of this fear come from... talk to a councilor.
