<human>: Ever since I was young, I've had a hard time making friends and well, just talking to people in general. I'm really self-conscious about myself because I think everyone will think I'm an idiot or something. Just trying to strike up a conversation with somebody is frequently difficult and comes with a lot of internal debate on what to do. Even ordering food at a restaurant makes me want to throw up sometimes. On multiple occasions I teared up after being asked to read aloud in a high school English class. Obviously this applies to my dating experiences as well. It's really hard for me to talk to attractive women and I just kind of shell up and don't know what to do. I also don't really find myself attractive whatsoever, so that doesn't really help my confidence either. 

So the question is, how do you deal with something like that?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I have no self-confidence and what appears to be bad social anxiety and I need advice on how to talk to people, especially women
