You are right about the meeting women bit. I never said meeting women was a problem... :/ They are everywhere. Starbucks, the mall, on the bus, the web, etc. They will probably be at that toastmasters thing (which actually has a meeting tomorrow at 6:45 that I'm going to attend).
I just want to be able to have successful conversations and interactions with women, and just people in general, and not feel out of place anymore and not have my past and depression get in the way. I just want to feel like I'm enjoying myself, because that's hard. I'll see what the crisis center says. The guy told me that I won't be able to see a psychiatrist until a few weeks, so I'm hoping the toastmasters meeting might help me out in the meantime.
