I agree with everything Caraher said.
I also think we tend to overestimate how many friends other people have based on unrealistic depictions in culture.
I read recently that there are actually classes especially for this, for adults. I doubt there are any in my area, but I sure could benefit from some.
Also, some medications help with social anxiety, allowing the therapy a chance to teach you new skills.
This *is* a fixable problem.
