All the time. I pretend or try to be sociable (less so as I get older) but when anyone invites me to something or tries to get closer to me, I panic and make excuses. I've lost a lot of friends and opportunities that way, throughout fear. Now I accept what I'm like and just focus on a few very close friends, who also have some sort of MI like me and we can relate to each other better because we understand how it feels. I find NT people difficult. I also take meds and see a t regularly, which helps.
