I don't know what it is, but it could have something to do with the same thing that keeps me away from parties and social gatherings in general. I recently overcame my fear of communicating with strangers, but chat rooms make me anxious. I went in one a few minutes ago and someone welcomed me, but I freaked out. Couldn't talk to them at all. It's not like there's a crowd or anything, so I don't understand this fear. Any advice?

Baby steps is what I would recommend. I am not a fan of chat rooms At All, but there is one here I go to from time to time, the Music-Share. You can say "Hi" then post something you like from Youtube. No Talking! It's Brilliant There are all ages of people so there is a lot of variety.
And No Pressure, you can just click on what other people post & put up a smilie ...Give it a try ....

Oh, that would be a good one. I wish there were places in real life where people didn't feel obligated to talk to you. Freaks me out.
Thank you
Thanks for this!
