Hi Orrla - yes, I can identify with this. Interacting with other people (any more than one) can make me want to hide in a corner, especially in the evening - and it can happen with friends, family or strangers. I've never really thought why this is. I'm certainly more self-conscious these days. And my conversation can grind to a halt in the evenings, which makes small talk a nightmare at that time of day when it's easier to be a passive listener.
