It’s not you, it’s me.
Social anxiety is more complicated than just ~fearing~ people.
It's fearing getting judged by those people, offending them, saying something stupid to them, humiliating yourself in front of them. The possibilities are endless, and we've probably thought of every. single. one.

There are little stupid things that make us uncomfortable that you wouldn’t even think of.
Sometimes it's party anxiety and small talk with strangers — but sometimes it's holding onto a browning apple core for an hour during a meeting because the thought of standing up and crossing the room to throw it away seems on par with medieval torture.
Vague texts like, "Hey, can I ask you something?" are a unique circle of hell.
What? What do you want us to ask me? Why didn't you just text the question first? Please get straight to the point so those three little dots don't haunt our nightmares.
We probably won't be the first one to invite you out, but we will drop hints.
"Oh, I don't have any plans yet, you?" = "If you were to invite me out, I'd be so down for that, but I'm not going to ask myself because aasdfasfdsfkjsaflsf."
