This is sort of an issue I constantly battle in my day-to-day life. I have trouble interacting with people, and while some people may find it cute and endearing, really its a pain in the freakin' neck.
I've gotten far better over the years masking it, and I can now use the phone somewhat and hold short conversations with people and not seem like a total idiot. But while this type of thing comes naturally to most people, it doesn't to me, and like most things I have to practice at it to get better. The only people I can talk freely to are my two best friends and my parents. Everyone else I tend to be a scatterbrained mess.
I know some of you probably can't relate with this, but (in my experience anyway) social anxiety isn't an expression or a choice. Its something, whether its due to your upbringing or your past experiences, that a portion of the population has to deal with. And I can just finally be happy when I can genuinely say "I love you" to my future significant other without studdering, sounding fake or skipping over it all together in embarrassment.

I can relate to this on some level. I also have trouble expressing myself to people and am horrible at small talk. I do have some close friends and a few friends online though. For me the place it's easier to express myself is just in online things where there aren't any stereotypes based on looks or accents or even gender. Just somewhere that literally everyone is as equal as they want to be.
