I love being at peace too but, turns out my peace is too fragile, as I am easily offended by rejection signs. We humans reject things all the time, so you can see why I am socially anxious. Working on it with a psychologist though. Having results from practicing mindfulness and emotional processing, as it makes my fear center less reactive and as such, and I am not so easily paralized anymore by it, which over time has helped me enjoy social interactions more.
