    We just had a huge thread yesterday where like 90% of the comments were people outright paralyzed by the fear of interacting with a cashier at the grocery store.

    The users on here are eggshell fragile. It’s honestly shocking how unable they are to even meet the bare minimum for existing in a society.

      Yeah. These people are all describing various forms of social anxiety. Allowing anxiety to control oneself is an avoidant behavior response.

      This is should not be confused with being introverted.
