Social anxiety and MD

Perspective

Does anyone else have really bad social anxiety and day dream A LOT. I feel like I use this as a coping mechanism because I want to be able to have connections with people but that anxiety feeling I get is holding me back and I would rather just have fictional people in my head who don't judge me. Idk sometimes I just wish I could only maladaptive daydream for the rest of my life because I like it way better than being in the real world. I don't really want to fix my maladaptive daydream dreaming, but I have to cause I'm at the age where I need a job and I need to be able to communicate with people. I think I'm too old now to figure out how to communicate with people, because to put it I get so awkward and uncomfortable that I start to hate the person for even trying to talk to me cause I feel like it interrupts my day dreams and brings me back to the real world.
