Firstly, thanks for making your book a free download and best of luck with it!
My situation is likely a bit different than other's: I feel much more free typing on a computer. I can write about any topic in eloquent detail but in person I tend to really overthink and just babble or lose control of my voice. In fact whenever I get nervous my lips tingle and I lose control of my voice, then the only way I can get over it is by going home to relax -- this happens more frequently than I'd like to admit.
More than not having skills, what really holds me back from being myself is I feel a sense of depersonalization around a lot of people: I lose myself. I'm just not comfortable around people, yet if I was I do think I'd have enough social skills to get by. The issue is this hasn't gone away after a few years and now I need to find a way to overcome this inner demon of mine.
Do you have any advice for a situation where one doesn't feel comfortable around nearly anyone and can't act like themselves most of the time? It's like I lose myself when I'm around people and unable to feel free and just let go of what bothers me.
