I may know a little bit of how you feel. I was well in my comfort zone before I moved to the US, but when I came here, everything changed. I got bullied pretty bad in middle and high school. It made me a lot quieter and a lot less willing to begin any kind of social relationship with anyone. You know the person that nobody wants to group with? Yeah, speaking right here. All though middle and high school. What's worse is that they thought I was stuck up when I was just afraid. =/

College was a bit different, I don't know what changed in me but I managed to gain some confidence in myself. I think finally finding a few real friends after years of only having acquaintances is what pushed me over. I've been improving, although I still really don't like taking the effort to socialize with people. I run on this rechargeable battery in crowds, I don't like dealing with people and I especially don't like confronting them. I am also terrible at public speaking.

God, my first interview was so scary. I had all this adrenaline running, my heart felt like it was going to burst. Sometimes I say things and screw up without knowing why. People tend to take what I say the wrong way... So...  I know how it feels like to just be lost in the midst of a bunch of people. It's really tough to deal with others face to face. I don't really know what to say except good luck. :x
