Your Type
Being approached by strangers makes you freeze. You carefully look for escape routes, praying to stay out of focus. This psychology of "feeling extremely threatened and panicked by social situations" actually masks your deep inferiority about "not being good enough and being harshly judged"; you fear that once you speak, you'll say or do the wrong thing, so you use "invisible mode and over-defensiveness" to avoid any potential failure, but thereby imagining the world as much scarier than it actually is. But always hiding in the deepest part of your comfort zone will only magnify your fear. Try asking a simple question (like "Is this drink good?") to someone who also looks quiet before today's party ends; when you learn to take a tiny step, you'll find the world is actually full of goodwill.
