JFaus, It is definitely a problem most of us face. I found myself a little self-conscious at our support group meeting yesterday. It was only my second meeting and although there were only 6 others there, I made eye contact only briefly at times. I noticed a few others doing the same. I tried to make sure I talked with them at the end of the meeting. It seemed to help. This is one problem that each individual will probably handle in their own way. What instrument do you play? I hope you still enjoy playing music. Thanks for the encouragement. Today is a very big day at work. I am caught in the middle of a power struggle between the owners of our company.
