I relate completely. My social circle has depleted.. I try to social on the internet rather than play alone if I can.. playing GTA5 with a headset can help at least give me a way to talk to other people. I get a reasonable amount of superficial interaction in real life as well.. but when it comes to making NEW friends I stuggle with the normal social settings : eating, travelling, any situations that are spontaneous that I can't control in order to minimise the embarrassement from EC are a source of anxiety.. and so the stress of it all makes the EC even worse.
