ok so by definition everybody probably is to a degree..... but i mean, in my case.. while i want to talk to people and have a g/f and a close friend (maybe even 2.. never over 3) i pretty much can't open my mouth without having a minor panic attack. whether it be to order a coffee or say "hi" to a stranger
i like babbling once i'm comfortable... i'm a pretty sarcastic SOB but i can tone it down depending on who i'm around so it's acceptable. but i can't bring myself to initiate any type of conversation without dire necessity (before grubhub.com i never ordered food.. i still don't want to use uber because you need to sometimes tell them where you're going) and i don't get the whole back and fourth thing with conversations. person A talks, then B, a/b/a/b so-on but if i ask something like "how is your day" and they say "it's ok" it shuts me down. even when i follow it with something like "anything wrong?" i've never had anybody go into more detail so that's the end of the conversation and we never speak again usually.
basically... was anybody comparable and if so, how did you fix it? i dont need to be a social butterfly but i'd settle for the guy who hides in the corner at a party (right now the thought of that many people just scares the crap out of me)
