OP, exposure therapy may help or try joining a group that does activities you enjoy such as kayaking or sailing or going bowling, but that may be difficult due to COVID. Well then think about ideas for activities you want to take part in that include social distancing too. It’s difficult now that’s for sure. In the past I did prefer more structured social events such as playing bunko or board games so I didn’t have to think about conversation that contributed to uncomfortable small talk, the bane of my existence at times.
