I'm always nervous when it comes to social interactions
Ever since i could remember, i've always been extremely nervous when i have to talk to someone i dont know. Like i had this one job interview and i screwed up so bad because i was so nervous, i even mumbled some words. I'm also scared of asking people something i don't know, because i feel stupid when doing so.
It's really wierd because im a really outgoing and loud person when i'm with my friends. I just cant deal with job interviews,ordering food,asking people for directions etc...

and a weak personality
they compensate for their weak personality by acting loud, as in hiding it.... a group usually empowers because there is a feeling of belonging and group members can stand up and agree on your views.
I reckon your problem is that you are too used to doing things in group and with another person. I recommend that you spend less time with your group and start exploring life on your own. Have a friend stay with you in the beginning, because the level of stress can be overwhelming and it is always nice to have a friend who supports u.
Trust me, all you need is the first time, and then you'll do it on your own.
I hope this helps.
take care and good luck.
You might want to counterweight your weakness by joining a public speaking group, or going to open mics and performing onstage. Whatever you do...don't use alcohol
