If its not the fear and anxiety that are the biggest inhibitors for you, then I'd be interested to know what are?
I'd say the isolation I went through starting in early childhood stemming from fear and social anxiety has had a profound impact on my development as a person. I feel as though I never really developed any semblance of a personality, identity, or social ability. So even if the fear of rejection and anxiety was removed, I think I'd still have an extremely hard time connecting with people as there isn't much substance to my character. I'm like a blank slate robot of a human being.
I'm not sure if I can really correct this. At this point in the game it seems really hard to develop these skills and aspects of a personality. I feel like it takes years of your early life to form these things and instead of growing I spent all of them alone in front of a television. I may have missed the boat.
