Sometimes those off the cuff remarks hurt. Keep counting down the days.
Is it possible you are an introvert by nature? Have you taken the Briggs Meyers personality test? It and some other personality tests are available online. Maybe you'd like to get to know yourself a bit better while you wait.
Being an introvert is a perfectly legitimate personality style, although not widely understood in our society. Basically, an introvert "recharges" by being alone, while an extrovert draws strength from being with others. Neither way is inherently better than the other.
But in either case, if social phobia is keeping you from living your life as fully as you would like, the pdoc should be able to help you. Pdoc appointment is in only ten days.
P.S. I'm assuming from what you've written that you're in college. School life is rough in some ways. Hang in there.
