Is it normal that im scared like this of talking to strangers??

im absolutely PETRIFIED of talking to strangers,

for instance, im normally quite loud around friends and people i know.. but when a stranger tries to talk to me, my speech is completely reduced to nods, facial expressions, "mhm." and shaking my head.

if i have to speak, like giving directions, my speech is very quiet, shy, and i stutter and pause on almost every word and it petrifies me.

i dont mean just strangers on the street, i mean like even people working in shops and restaurants. litterally anybody i dont know well.

i don't know why this happens, as ive said, im normally really outgoing and loud with friends. IIN?

    Fart or burp because seriously it breaks the ice. That's how you get to know people. Blow your ass up in their face.

    learn sign language for shits and giggles and pretend your deaf. Strangers will feel nervous about talking to you.
