HI Shannon! I'm what is known as a 'functional introvert'. I'm not shy at all, but being around people wears me out! I prefer lots of alone time, and quilting hits the spot. Despite that, we all need some human interaction and friends. I too have had issues with a grown chld, but he's finally doing better as he ages into his mid 30s. Sometimes they just need time to figure it all out, and we can't do that for them. Best Wishes and keep on sewing!
