Am I timid or just anti-social?

I find being in crowded rooms sometimes difficult especially when it's people I don't know.
I go really squeamish and kinda 'retract into my shell' if you will and if I sit down; I draw my legs up and
hug my knees. I also can't really make a conversation with a stranger; let alone a guy I recognise. Am I going weird  or is this more of a quirk? Any advice?

Sometimes I feel uncomfortable even with my best friend or my mum but I can talk to them..

It could be that you're just a shy person. Not everyone can just jump in there and have conversations with people they don't know.
Do you feel comfortable with other people you know, family and friends?
