Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this, but I think it’s okay. Tomorrow is the first day of school for me (sophomore year of high school), and I’m incredibly anxious for it. Over the summer I have had a “real” social interaction with only one person who is not a family member. I had barely any ability to socialize before the summer, and I’m sure that any skills I had learned have eroded. I know that if I talk to people, sit next to people, and try to interact with them I’ll be miserable because I’ll be embarrassed the whole time, but I know that if I don’t talk to people I’ll be miserable because I’ll be lonely and shameful (if that’s the right word) that I’d be alone. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

Yes. Thanks for sharing your post. This will work out for you. All you have to do is walk into the building tomorrow, and it all changes. This is quite common getting back to school. Many people experience this prior to everything starting back at school. I promise you, you are not the only one.
About your skills, they may have been dormant for a while, but there is still some residual affects of those skills within your brain and will surface the minute you start using these skills again.
Thanks for reaching out here. All you have to do is get into the building tomorrow, and all the good things start.
