Most times people know you care about them by how you relate to them. For example, taking the time to call, or visit, or go to an event. This shows the true character of friendship.

I would be the first to admit that I use my social phobia as my main excuse for such things. I really do hate large crowds. I probably would tell you that I would not take a million cash at times to go.

For the most part, in my situation, that is true. Being the geek that I am, I feel uncomfortable being away from the PC. But is that really a good excuse?

It is a fact, that the more such types, or anyone else, are out in public the better the situation and the more likely they are to go the next time. Compare it to a baby taking its first steps.

But then what am I saying? Take the first step. Get off Facebook and just go, quit texting and make a call instead. After all it is the little things that matter in life.
