Well.... It's hard to know I had lots of issues growing up. JW was just one of them. When I 1st left I was socially aquward. My work friends have even told me I'm 100% a different person. I didn't know how to interact with non JW's. JW's were all I knew I pioneered, worked cleaning so didn't have a lot to do with them.
When I became a student I was now thrown into non JW's. I was OK kept to myself for the most part.
When I left left I had a hard time at 1st. I opened up to a few people told them parts of my life and that started to help. Now three years under my belt... I'd probably be considered one of the most social people at work My 1st few parties I felt out of place... now not so much
One left over problem I do have is I don't know how to read people well. When you are raised to think JW's are good all others are bad you don't develope that ability, or at least I'm not so good at it. Been burned a few times.
