I agree with bebop.
I too feel that way with anyone that is not related to me. I feel like they just want to run the other way and not have to talk to me at all. I try to convince myself that I'm just being paranoid. I'm usually so uncomfortable that I break up the conversation. I'll look around and fidget (act like I'm looking for my kids or something). Because of this behavior some people thought I was a snob and they are afraid to approach me. When here I am just very shy. People have told my sisters that I was a snob and was afraid to talk to me, I wish I knew how to change this behavior, I don't want people to be afraid of me or think that I'm snobby.
If you were having a conversation with me I'd probably react like this and you would think that I didn't like you, when really it's me not having any confidence. If we could only have our feelings on a name tag.
You are not alone with how you are feeling, I think it's a very common feeling.
