Whether it’s family or coworkers or whoever. I have such a hard time talking and just always feel anxious. There are very few people I feel comfortable around. :agony-deep:

    are you talking about being perceived by others as being awkward or feeling awkward/uncomfortable when talking to others?
    if it's the former, you are probably not as awkward as you think you are but even if you are an extremely awkward person, so what? people are a lot more forgiving on slight social "transgressions" than we are to ourselves when we feel like we did a social interaction poorly.

    either way, the only way for it to get better is to keep doing it. as with any other skill you become better at being social by practicing it, by socializing. i know this might be an obvious or maybe unpleasant thing and it's not easy, but it's simple. i'm decently introverted and had debilitating social anxiety for a couple of years so i probably understand a bit of where you're coming from.
