I feel socially inept lately. There are certain groups of people I just can't seem to talk to anymore. They make me nervous to the point it is just exhausting and I don't really understand why at all. I've always been a little shy but for the most part I've gotten over that, for the most part I even LIKE meeting people now but there are still times. Older guys for one. Not older men, I love talking to adults because they have always been my comfort zone as an only child, but guys like 25-35 make me scared to death even if I know them. They talk to me and I panic and shake and its really strange because I cant remember feeling that way in the past nor can I ever remember having any sort of negative experience with them. Then again I don't think I regularly came in contact with that group before either. Even my friends that are in that age group make me feel uncomfortable. They are perfectly nice and I know they will not harm or judge me; nonetheless I am near panic when I have to talk to them for any duration of time. Even those I have known for long periods of time suddenly have become a problem where as I used to feel comfortable with them. It bothers me because I don't know where it came from and I hate being so nervous. I attend and work at a community college where men that age make up a significant portion of the student body so it really is interfering with my day-to-day life. I want to get over it, but since I have no idea where it came from, I really don't know how.
Anyone else had a similar problem or any advice?
