I don't know how to name this or if it has a real name other than shyness but I think this is a problem most people face including me. It is a mix of shyness and social anxiety where I avoid doing social interactions am so keen about just because I don't feel confident enough to do it, not just that but I will spend like half an hour fantasizing about that social interaction before it happens and half an hour after it was missed. My only weapon to this is the "Trick your brain" thing where you put all the thinking stuff aside for a moment and and walk into the party with no thought in mind, which fails as much as it succeeds. So, to summarize, how to solve this!! #relationships source
