I often wonder if it’s social anxiety or just simply extreme shyness. It’s hard for me to initiate conversations with people, I hate when people compliment me sometimes, I feel awkward sometimes in public.

I also suffer from panic attacks from time to time, but is rarely initiated from social situations
