Linda asked: I think I have social anxiety. I’m not comfortable meeting new people, I always feel strange having to talk to new people, and I have a hard time making friends because of this. The only person I feel 100% “safe” with is my husband. I get chatty when I drink though, because then I feel more carefree and don’t care what people think about me.
