Does anyone else find it extremely difficult to interact with people?

Yup! It sucks! "I know this person! Why do I still get anxious and blank out when I talk to them?" Sometimes I've found that I'll put so much thought into focusing on them and looking them in the eye, than I will in putting actual thought into what they are saying. :?

Whenever I try to be social with people, my mom tells me that I can't. However, when my mom tells me to be more social, I panic and hide somewhere where I can't be seen.
