Hello, everyone. I'm terribly sorry for disappearing like that. I'm sure no one cares, but I did disappear nonetheless.
Either way, during my absence, I fell into a deep, AFC-induced depression and was forced to go see a shrink and a therapist. The shrink told me what I already knew; about my OCD, social avoidance disorder, etc. My therapist, amongst the Dr. Phil-esque dreck, left me a note saying "In my personal opinion, your social problems stem from the fact that you're too uptight. <smiley face>" (I'm not sure if he was being facetious or something.)
My question to you, dear SoSuave, is how does one stop being "uptight?" What precisely does my therapist mean by that? (I am cognizant of its dictionary definition, but am unsure of how it is applied to social labels.)
