i go through the exact same thing... avoid any social situation, feel so socially inept, so afraid of conflict, extremely sensitive to any kind of criticism, very anxious if i Have to be in any social situation, constantly cancelling on events at the last minute, and as you said, every time i do it, it simply tears me up inside too..., and the worst is, despite being aware of it and so many years of effort to overcome it, i just feel like i'm sinking into it deeper,getting more and more depressed, angry with myself, tired of failing at every attempt...
i'm apologise for just reporting the same issues here again, but i have not yet figured out what can help...
i just joined here, hope to find something, i will surely post here if and when i do...
you are not alone in this
