social anxiety.

Someone is talking to you, a stranger, youre having a good conversation. In your head you come up with all the smooth responses and know what to say to keep the conversation progressing. You instead stop responding, bringing an end to the conversation, leading to you walking away. You would rather email someone in a professional setting whether it be a company, school, work situation, than call and have to talk to them on the  phone. You almost always send phone calls to voicemail. You have other people order for you in a resturant setting, especially if you feel uncomfortable. Where sitting at home watching a movie alone is your ideal friday night. When around new people you sit silently and just listen to their voice, or other conversations around, for hours. You would rather hang out with one friend than a group of friends because you wouldnt know what to say. Youve been living your whole life with social anxiety. You like to be alone because at least then you wont embarrass your self.
