I don’t know how you feel, but I think that socializing with others often brings out our vulnerability. We may be put on the spot about things we aren’t comfortable discussing. Sometimes, it might be sensitive issues about our health, our family members, our job, income, politics, etc. It can be intimidating. Some friends can ask a lot of personal questions too. Or, maybe you have anxiety associated with going out in public. Would you prefer to entertain them in your home? Getting evaluated for depression might be a good idea too, I hope you can figure it out so you can enjoy time with others. It can be very rewarding.
