Billy no mates ..

I thought I was Introverted, travelled alone, ate alone etc etc, no problem.. Turns out Im not, actually just traumatised and terrified of people, stranger danger if you will 🤣🤣🤣 ... As revelations go, I good one, tremendous perspective. But, problem is now Im in my late 30s, want people in my life but have no idea how build that out..

Im sociable, ran a bar for years, so I can engage with people, but never tried to build a friendship outside of that work structure..

Any one any advice?
