<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

i guess this goes into something a little deeper, um...growing up, my parents were very over protective. i wasn't allowed to hang out with friends because my parents didn't know them, and anytime i'd ask if they could at least come over, they'd give me some excuse as to why that wasn't allowed. that caused me to prevent making friends at school since i could never hang out and i started spending all of my time on the internet. because of all that, i feel like i've lost pretty much all of my social skills. i tend to avoid one-on-one conversations because they make me feel awkward and although i'd love to get to know the person, i'm just not sure how to keep up (or really even begin) conversation.

not only that, but there's this security guard that works at my doctor's office who's pretty good looking. he made small talk with me (and i practically had an anxiety attack because i don't ever know what to say or how to react), then gave me his number before i left. as much as i'd like to get to know him and everything, i'm nervous because i haven't been in a situation like this before. i can barely even reply to texts because i just sit there staring into my phone wondering how to even reply (or how i'm supposed to???). 

has anyone else been in my shoes? if so, how do/did you learn to properly(???) interact with people?
<bot>: i was sheltered growing up and avoided making friends because i felt like i couldn't have any. i'm 20 now and feel like i have little to no social skills.
