Yes, I relate. I'm glad you mentioned it. I've always been somewhat shy, but I started not wanting to go out and socialize towards the end of high school and have been that way ever since.

I wish I could remember(memory probs!) when I had my amalgams places, but I can't ( to see if that coincided). I would have never attributed it to mercury. I'll have to see if it gets any better in the next few years as the mercury comes out of my body.
