Very much. Just to put things in perspective.
I had to make a phone call to receive a package.
It literally took me 2 full days of trying to call that number and hanging up. Before i worked up the nerved.
Its like when i have to do things like that, i get a mountain the size of everest placed in my way, and i have to climb that.
I remember once, being told that it would get easier. For some reason it never seems to get easier.
Its like, who is the person im talking to, will it be a male or female, what will their voice sounds like, will i be able to understand them. What if they ask me something im not prepared for.
Now social event oh no thank you, then take all that and multiply it by how many people are there, plus a new place im not familar with, plus the noise and the and other stuff. And not being able to go home where and be alone, you can only take up the bathroom so long, before people starting thinking your either died, or have a problems.
