tensor,
i just wanted to add that i'm a fairly sociable person as well...there's nothing i love more than parties, boyfriends, hangin out with folks...but it has become much easier with age, meds, and experience. my advice to you is to keep yourself on your toes--with a social job/life to keep in practice, and meds if you need them (which very well may be the case).
it is difficult to make friends/get a job when yr so inside yr innershell, but there's always a way...if there was a way for me there will be for you...this is an issue close to my heart, because i truly love being around people when i'm, not feeling uncomfortable (physical symptoms of dread, anxiety, sweat, silence, and emotional over-reactineness in that they are judging you in some way.)
i don't know if this is how you feel, but as a highly sociable social phobic i feel i can relate. i'm okay once i get some benzos and merlot going...age also helps. welcome to the board.
