    I have been dealing with PMO for over a decade, and in that time I have had a lot of time to reflect on myself. I am what would be considered an introvert (someone who is less sociable and closed off from others) and I don't have many friends. The friends I do have are usually busy and when we do hang out we usually end up being bored or having nothing to do. I don't know if it is solely because of PMO or perhaps a number of other factors throughout my life including that one, but I often contemplate on my solitude when I see others with friends that they go out with or talk to all the time. I believe rebooting will help be a big step in overcoming this, but I am not sure how to better connect with other people as the average person would. I would be happy to help anyone here who has a similar problem and hopefully guide others towards recovery.

    I think it's questionable that the average person connects with other people any better than introverts.

    First of all, there are a ton of average people who are also introverts. Second, connecting doesn't imply a good level of understanding.

    If you are a true introvert, you might check out a book by Susan Cain:
    Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

    "At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society."
