I'm terrified of being humiliated in social situations. I feel deeply inferior to and not good enough for other people. I avoid social interaction, jobs, friends, family, activities etc. I live a lonely life but I want to be more social and have deep intimate relationships. I know they are possible because I used to have them before I developed this disorder. 

Does anyone else relate to this or have advice to overcome it? I'm trying just to force myself into social situations but am filled with dread.
