I am 18 years old and i am really socially awkward and have very low confidence. You can call it social anxiety. Because of this i have few times found my self in trouble as well.
I dont know how to interact with other people, i really cant think of how to act at certain situations, due to which i often end up looking dumb. I do get nervous while interacting with people and because of which i get easily fooled or scammed by people.
I really dont like to attend social gatherings, i found it difficult to start a conversation with any stranger or even maintain a conversation with them. Because of this i dont have a lot of friends and i sometimes feel bad about it. I do have a small friend circle with whom i feel comfortable with but other than them i cant talk to anyone without being weird.
Its not like i feel uncomfortable to talk with just strangers but also with people i know from a long time but am not good friends with.
I know i need to improve this or i will have problems in future.
