it really does sound like some kind of anxiety disorder, probably social. this (http://www.socialphobia.org/whatis.html#whatis1) is probably the best page i've come across for real world definitions of what it is, as well as this one (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/social-anxiety-disorder/DS00595), but theres loads of online tests and info pages you can look at. I think it's better understood where you are, so maybe you could talk to a doctor about it and see what he thinks? they're a bit crap with it here, they just tell me i'm depressed and attempt to shove me on pills (plus, uh, authority figures scare the crap out of me because of the social anxiety, so i wont actually go to see a doctor anyway. yeah, Ris = FAIL, i;m afraid xD) i did wonder when in claw chat, you said you hated the telephone; thats sort of the classic sign of social anxiety..
