About your point of the original post, I think some people struggle in social relationships. I don't know if that is helpful, but probably it has something to do with critical parenting. It was for me. Criticizing shattered my self-image and my self-esteem. I always envision someone will criticize me whatever I do or say. I envy people who talk to others smoothly and connect with them instantaneously. I imagine my life would have been much different if I were more sociable. I am still hopeful, though, that someday things will change for something better.
