Thanks for responding Wants2Fly, Jax2923, Fuzzybear, and Perna. I am glad that I have you guys here at PC to share my thoughts with. It's not that I don't want to talk to other people (because I would love to), it's just that I can't. I have social anxiety disorder and it's not just the 'fear' of talking to other people, it's the fact that I practically don't know how to act or talk around them.

Several years ago I forced myself to hang out with some people to try and make friends and have a social life, but it just became the most awkward situation. They tried to have a conversation with me, but for the life of me I couldn't think of ANYTHING at all to say back. I was silent most of the time and my face was as red and hot as anything could ever be. I often escaped from the situation to go to the bathroom and splash water on my face to cool it down. Afterwards when I came home I thought back on all the things I could have said that would make it a nice, flowing conversation. This always happens to me. I'm like a dingdong when I'm around other people and I know that is how others see me as well.

That's why I am so grateful for PC. I can take my time thinking what to say and actually be able to say what's on my mind. So thanks everyone for listening and responding!
