I am assuming you mean Social Phobia -- in which case, yes! I manage a small dry cleaners, interact with lots of people everyday as well. I have been promoted from a presser to the counter and then from there to the manager. Customers all think I am a great asset to the company and I have no trouble saying that I am. However... if it weren't for the fact that it is my JOB to interact with the customers and remember their names and how they like their shirts, etc... Like if I was on the other side of the counter it would be intensely different. I haven't figured out why as of yet, but this is the only 'social' situation that does not make me faint at the thought of it. I wish you the best of luck, my recommendation is to do just that -- find a job where you are required to interact with people. Difficult to explain, but I could sell snow to an eskimo; but sell myself to a girl at a bar.. let alone offer to buy her a drink or even say hi makes me flush and sweaty at the thought.
GL!
