not only because of your loss but because you have been isolated for so long?

I never really thought about confidence even when someone thought a course called "communicate to integrate" would help me. But i did feel it very strange when i actually said to myself "I feel lonely".

On my course we had to visit our local library and find out something. The local library is somewhere i have always wanted to go back to since my one visit to the cinema. It felt strange to walk around with 3 fellow students and ask about re-joining, borrowing books and the cinema.

Several things did not go through my head like: isn't this scary or what if i say something stupid. Over the 3 days of the course similar thoughts never entered my head. Booking a table and enjoying a 2 course meal at two of my local pubs was an experience that did not give me any qualms. So on Sunday i do the same again for lunch after paying my respects to mum and dad.
