Sorry guys, it's a long read but I have a lot I need to get off my mind.

I have a good life, my parents are both really loving, I have plenty of friends and I am happy- except I do not have good social skills. I think it may be a result of playing to much computer games. I struggle in social situations- a year ago before I started playing a game (Minecraft) I could handle social situations and talk to friends without any trouble. Then I started playing this game and it took over my life- anyway I've given it up now but my problem is I can't talk to other people and interact normally. I stand around next to my closest friends, feeling really awkward because I don't know what to say. I am shy- I get scared of answering the door incase it's someone I don't know, in every social situation I am constantly worrying about what to say, what to do so I don't make a fool of myself. I don't think I'm 'anti-social' because I want to socialise but I just can't. Please can someone help me, tell me what to do, where to get help? I don't want to go to some stupid class or centre to teach me how to be calm in social situations- I just want to know is there a website with some tips on how to relax and not worry, and perhaps hear from some of you if you have experienced something similar. Thankyou guys.
