I find parties and clubs to be unnerving.

I get emotionally exhausted by extra socializing but I have learn to handle it well, over the years.

I'm absolutely awful at making phone calls, unless it's to someone I speak to on a daily basis. It takes me weeks to work up to making dentist/doctor appointments. I'm also a wreck if I have to go alone somewhere I've never been; I *know* I won't really die of embarrassment if I have to ask for help, but it sure feels like it.

Just as simple as going to the mail box.

Large groups really stress me out.

Me too. I always seem to just get lost socially when I'm with 2 people or more. It's like the convo and activity is all between them, and I'm just there.. waiting to go home. I prefer hanging out with very close friend one on one.
