<p>Regardless of the label used by anyone, you agree that your social skills could use some improvement but you recognize it would take work. You seem like a very bright person who has a lot to gain by at least TRYING to work with a GOOD professional that would help you improve/polish some social skills that could help you for the rest of your life. It’s hard to see a downside (other than it being some work and time). You will never know how good things can get if you don’t put forth some serious effort.</p>
<p>It will really be sad for you to never find out how much better life could be if you put a little more into the social aspects. No one can force you to, but you acknowledge things could be better–take the risk and find a good counselor that you can connect with to see how far you can go.</p>
<p>Best of luck–remember, not all counselors are created equal. Some are duds and some are amazing. You deserve an amazing one, so go for it!</p>
