Demi, I too had a tough time in school. There were thousands of kids at that school, but many times I was all alone. My best friend was my dog. But, I am married now (I will pray for this blessing for you) and have a few friends, but the only one I really open up to (though not totally) is my husband who is very understanding. I know my limits with my friends, and I try to stay within those limits - not always easy. I also do not like to talk on the phone unless i know the person on the other side very well. Even my mom has given up on me. Thankfully, God is there, and my husband.
I have terrible trouble talking to strangers. This is difficult because my husband is a pastor. When I see new people coming to church, I want to run and hide. But I don't - I stay and talk - and I am blessed, usually, by the people I meet. Most of my kids are extremely shy - need to get their fillings out too - soon if we can ever afford it. They hate talking on the phone and don't make friends easily. It has been, and is, a struggle. But I thank God for His grace in the struggle and because of Jesus, I look forward to a bright and everlasting future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
