Hi, around some of my friends i feel fine when we are alone but as they are moderately popular and normal they often attract other friends (sometimes females) and i feel that i cannot partake in the conversation at all. It is worse when it is a female who comes because i feel i would just be crushed if they didn't find me atleast slightly attractive.

If the context of conversations is limited or defined Im fine. So work is no problem. I flounder when I have to talk about myself, my interests (or lack of), or when invited to social gatherings.

Yeah, like the others I'm fine at work. I sometimes feel like I have a limit to how social I can be per day, and it seems like I use it all up at work(I'm a cashier). I just can't do any in-depth conversations.
