Human Interaction Makes Me Uncomfortable For the last 6 months or so, I’ve lost all confidence in myself and my speech and being around others makes me uncomfortable, even my friends. My speech is so awful I’ve gotten really really dark thoughts lately. I feel completely isolated and trapped and I didn’t use to be this way. How can I get out of this rut and take better care of myself? I feel like I am rotting away my life
