I wouldn't call it a phobia, so much as a constant paranoid worrying.
Interacting with other people is actually something I've always had a problem with. I've been to several of the EoFF meetups though, so how can that be? It's because it's all in my head and I worry about these things in private. I try to appear other than a timid, self conscious person and be as outgoing as I can be, putting others before myself to try and make up for it. I feel like i'm always being judged or criticized, like i'm imposing on other people and everyone is annoyed by me. People will be nice to me, i'll have friends who I get on with and even trust, but even those people I feel like I bother or aggravate them too much. I'm always worried that I will say or do something that someone will get pissed off at me for.
I try not to care what other people think of me, and for people I don't know, it's easier, but I constantly feel like i'm going to disappoint the people i like/love or let them down somehow.

Maybe Froid would have fun with that one.
