Been sitting on this fence for a year or so now. Do you work? I don't. I was thinking then a person would be forced to be around others.

Yes, that is how it is for me too. I do work, but my work has evolved to working mostly on my own at home. I think my anxiety around people has got worse, due to being more isolated. I think being with people and having positive experiences, helps dilute the lack of trust I have in people.
Actually I have just signed up for an evening class. It will be something I am interested in, but will mean I have to mix with people. But as we will be focused on the actual class, I am hoping it will feel less overwhelming.
