Not at all. I am comfortable with strangers and enjoy the unfamiliar ones

Fine on the outside. People would never guess how much effort it takes

Awkward, and I have stopped fighting it. It is part of who I am now

11%

Reliably awkward. I replay conversations for days afterwards

Fine once I warm up. The first ten minutes are the only difficult part
