Something that came out of the discussion about meeting people:
I think one of the reasons I'm quite so scared of meeting people is that I'm not very good with confrontations. I tend to just go along with things rather too much, when I'm with people who I want to be/stay friends with. I'm rather insecure and I think that if I argue or say 'no' about stuff, then people will not like me any more; but even when there isn't really this motivation, I just find it very hard to *say* things to people that might annoy them, even when it's really quite important to communicate how I feel.
So I feel that because of this, I'm probably in more danger than most people, because I can end up being uncomfortable with perfectly reasonable people because I can't express properly that they're making me feel uncomfortable and why.
(Plus, I don't meet many people. And I'm scared of the random people on the street when I do go out, too. And crowds make me panic, especially if there are people around my age and a bit older in them.)
