I'm also kind of like that. It used to be when people tried to talk to me, I would get extremely nervous and just wanted to escape. I couldn't converse with others, and definitely couldn't start conversations. I learned the more situations I was in, the less nervous I became.
As harsh as it may seem, you will have to immerse yourself in your fear. Otherwise, nothing will change for you. You CAN go to new groups. You just haven't realized it yet. The hardest part is taking that first step. At first it will be hard. You will likely have some very bad experiences, but eventually it gets easier. You probably will never be completely comfortable with it, but you'll be able to the things you thought you couldn't.
I ask myself ?
