      • Well I can handle being around people. I even like having people around me but only without the pressure to socialize. When I have to talk to people my mind just kind of goes blank and I cant find any words. Like a really intense stress reaction. And in some periods I feel really anxious even just being surronded by people, it depends on my overall stress meter at the moment.
        I also struggle with leaving the house. It makes me very anxious when I have to be out for too long and travelling has always been a huge problem even though i've practiced it as an adult by travelling quite far by myself a few times so it's a bit easier now.
        I also avoid groups of people like the plaque. I have friends here and there, I have never tried to get into a group of friends. It helps to sit and talk to just one person, especially if it's someone who's better at talking than me because I feel less pressure having to come up with topics which is hard when I get so stressed out I cant think of anything. But once i'm pretty comfortable with someone it's easier.
