Hey So this past Wednesday was a month since me and my x broke up... I actually have to say the break up I'm dealing wit okie.. My hardest part of it all is thinking about her with someone else... If I was with someone I don't think it would even be so hard... Im pretty shy and worried about being alone. Because of all this I don't have many friends left and the ones I do have are married with there girlfriends or even not worth staying with. Im not sure what else I should do but I'm having a hard time getting along with this empty feeling... I just want to meet new people and move on but my shyness is holding me back what can I doo??

Well coming from a former shy person (and sometimes still) you are going to have to go outside of your comfort zone. You are going to have to go out to parties/places where you might only know 1 person and get to meet others. Be friendly and smile, joke around a bit and people will want to be around you. Its going to be tough after a breakup, but use it as motivation for a better life.

You have to realize that being shy is holding you back from the life you want to live. Im not saying tomorrow go out and talk to random people on the street, but take it in small steps. I met my current friends all through one friend at work, we all just got along so well that after my friend from work left the country, I stayed good friends with all of them. It took me going out to somewhere that I really didn't want to because I would have only known one person. I did it, and the rest is history.
