I can totally feel for you here. I do not have this issue myself, but my husband does. And I have to explain to my friend's who want to meet him that it is a difficult experience for him to meet new people. They always think he doesn't like them or he's mean or something worse. Of course when it's just us or us and his friends he's the funniest guy in the world, completely adorable(I may be bias). It actually took me many years to fully understand that he just can't take family get togethers. He's pretty good at faking it, as I'm sure a lot of people tend to be, when he needs to. I probably don't even fully understand even now. So yea, I feel for you. And I guess the moral of the story is he's now happily married, although he didn't meet me until he was 34 so there's time.
