Anxiety has definitely affected my friendships and relationships, especially in the last couple of years. I've tended to keep more to myself, rather than want to always socialize. Your question isn't dumb at all, I can see a difference in my being able to relate to others depending on how anxious I'm feeling. I'm trying to be more aware of this and try and push myself to do more. The more I keep my anxiety down, the more I feel like my "old self" when I'm with my family and friends.
