I have the same problem and I am female. If I go anywhere people just haven't got a clue on what to talk to me about. If I do start a conversation it soon tails off and I feel stupid or I start to stutter or something and blush. I am happiest being a loner and like to read or play my piano but of course I can't do that all day long. I love to shop online as I hate crowds. They make me nervous. My dream would be to live alone as a total recluse but that will never happen.
