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:

For me a big part of learning to deal with this was to figure out why I felt anxious.
My own experience was that I felt anxious around new people because I didn't understand how to interact with them yet - like I hadn't picked up on their vibe yet, and that takes time and repeated exposure, and once I did I "warmed up" to them. But those initial interactions were stressful and I wanted to avoid that.
That might be what you're dealing with, and it might not, but it took a couple years to get to that point where I understood that and how to deal with it.
