I appreciate the thoughtful responses so far... 
And instead of creating a new topic, let me quickly ask: What makes a good worker? When someone says: that person is a good worker, what does that encompass? |
It sounds like you might have a bit of social anxiety. People with social anxiety have an extreme fear of being rejected, which results in nervousness, which makes it difficult to socialize, which often results in rejection. Take a look at some books on social anxiety and you'll find some good advice.
As far as what makes a good worker... the obvious characteristic is doing good work and meeting deadlines, but unless you're like me and you work at home, a big part of your success at work is defined by how well you get along with your co-workers and your participation at meetings.
