9. The hardest part for me is getting a foot in the door.

I have problems approaching groups, because to me it always seems like they are busy with themselves and I don't want to disturb them. Single people, say because the rest of the group is temporarily somewhere else, are nooo problem.

The first step, that damn first step...

But, like with all introverts, there is a barrier. Sometimes I just don't feel like starting a conversation with random people for the sake of having a conversation with random people.
