I always had opinions and I was always participating so this was a problem. Sometimes people would actually ask me about it and then I'd blush some more and stutter some answer. It was so embaressing that I eventually mastered it (I'm still not quite sure how)....so now I can usually talk perfectly fine in front of groups of people.
HOWEVER, I hate being around groups of people I don't know. Especially if they know each other already. I always feel so out of place. Over time, I've sort of developed a defense mechanism where I either find reasons not to like everyone else around me or I'll just stand there with a nasty expression on my face. I've heard that I look at people like they have 8 eyes or like I want to kill them. Some people just say I look like I think I'm better than them. As a result, it's incredibely hard for me to meet people in new environments. They always just assume the worst about me and I don't try to change their minds until it's too late.
Oh yeah...and I always feel like people are looking at me. /shifty eyes
So yes, I think I do have something of a problem with that.

just go into the scene with a fuck it attitude. who cares what others think of you. if your happy about the person you are then WHO CARES WHAT OTHERS THINK? then you will start to attract people that are similiar to you which makes the whole social thing real easy.
