What are you studying?
"Mostly what therapy has done though, is help me be less socially inept."
How has it helped? Did you learn social skills in the therapy or do you mean it helped in your perception of yourself as socially inept? By the way you wrote it, I get the feeling you mean in some practical sense the therapy led to you being more social.
With me I don't know what it is in essence - it's something very long standing (i.e. going back to the age of 5 at least). I perceive myself as socially inept - or at least socially clumsy (hmm, maybe that's some progress then!). I find it a nightmare to enter a room full of people. Some days I can't handle answering the phone. Other days I seem to do more or less fine. For me it's all about self-confidence. If you feel terrified it's hard to do the social dance.
