I would just like to know what kind of problem I have with regards to being around people. I'm fine with starting a conversation off or even saying hi to people I see at work as I would find it unnatural for me not to acknowlege somebody I see everyday, but what I start feeling is really insecure when they intentionally don't reply to my hello or are reluctant to say it back, or intentionally not make eye contact when walking past me, this makes me uncomfortable at work .
I've not been around people for a long time due to an illnes and so am not sure how to involve myself with people, how much I should talk and not. My main problem isn't conversating with people, as when people open up to me for conversation I'm perfectly fine(maybe a little bit nervous as I'm not used to it), unless we're in a group which I find it hard to give some input as I usually would feed off of individual intention.
So mainly I have problems with how people react to me eg turning away when they see me, talking in a manner as if they don't want to speak, or not replying to my hello. This makes me feeling really really insecure as if I'm a burden or doing something wrong. The second thing is I can't involve myself in group situations - for some reason I can't speak unless I'm being given individual attention.
My main feelings are being scared of not being acknowledged and not knowing how to actually start and maintain relationships with friends and co-workers etc, because of being alone for so long and not knowing how to involve myself in group situations.
What is it that I have?
