I don't have much trouble interacting with people on a casual basis- engaging in small talk with people at work, school, etc. However, whenever someone tries to be my friend by sitting with me on a regular basis in class or in the breakroom at work, I freak out. My throat gets tight, I feel hot, and feel like I just can't get enough oxygen and start breathing heavy. I come up with some reason why I have to sit at the other end of the room if someone tries to befriend me. I am in my 20's now, and have not had a friend since I was about 6, just aquantences.
I do date, and have had several long-term relationships, but I constantly have this irrational fear of abandonment. My throat feels tight talking to guys I have dated for a while, and I often have sex to avoid talking. I try to have sex ASAP so I can have some company without having to talk.
Is this a disorder or just nuts? What's it called?
