Perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way? Maybe I'm no good at interacting with people because I just don't like people, and maybe that's what makes it such hard work. Maybe I assume people won't like me because usually when I met someone, I have little interest in them. Or maybe I just convince myself of that as a defence because I assume they won't like me. This is a real chicken and the egg situation.

I'm not even sure this is my biggest problem anymore. It certainly was when I was younger but now I have enough people around me I care about.
