Your cinematography is lovely.
I understand completely what you are struggling with, and I’m even older. I generally prefer to be alone than in a room full of people. My advice: recognize and accept that it is a struggle, but it is the price you have to pay to get where you want. Also, remember you don’t have to talk all the time…. ask people about themselves and your conversation will flow by itself.
Try to dose your anxiety by scheduling the social workload- plan only a certain amount of it and remind yourself that is what you are doing, so you can feel less overwhelmed.
Now I must try to follow my advice…
