		<description>Thanks Steve. I agree that stress can make connecting a chore.  You are right....self -confidence affects how we show up.</description>

		<description>I agree with her - I can be social, and I need to regain some energy after those times. I love talking with interesting people, having lively discussions and so on. And then after that, I like to go somewhere quiet and recharge for a while.

I&#039;ve noticed that if I am fully-charged and feeling good about myself, those social times are great. However, if I&#039;m already worn down, then I do things to avoid being in social situations. It&#039;s sort of a protective response.</description>
