I have social phobia.

I have a lot of phobias, social phobia is just one of many. I do not easily like socialising at all. I am not too averse to it, but I have had so many bad experiences socially that I am not so well now. Every social situation seems to turn to catastrophe.

Well hopefully not... sometimes I think 'social catastrophe' would be in the eye of the person thinking that of themselves. Not seen as such, by the others around them. I think attitude sometimes plays a part, in how we think we manage, when amongst others.
