Not being able to express yourself

I have a major problem about talking/dealing with people, i can't even talk with my family sometimes because i think i'm being a constant nuisance and it kinda makes me feel like the worse human being alive, people always say i distance myself from others and how I don't try to make friendships/relationships last, it's like something blocks me from telling them (and even messaging them) how i feel and it piles up until I end up having a panic attack and it sucks so much.
I don't text anyone first, nor I call anyone first because i fear i would annoy my friends/family, i literally have a mental crisis everytime I'm sending someone a simple "hi" message.

Do any of y'all have a problem like this ? How do you cope?

I really admire your courage for opening up. I feel and do exactly the same. It's been quite persistent and debilitating since my childhood. I'm a wreck in social and public situations so I avoid such as much as I could. I've been going to counseling sessions for many years (though sporadically and to different non~medical facilities) so I haven'...... 1 reply

That's... Well, you can't please everyone. If they have a disgust reaction, don't take it to the heart. It ain't that deep, some people just don't like you that includes your family reply

I get it, I have difficulty too. I'm always scared of annoying others, when I'm texting somebody I'm always second guessing, and start overthinking, even if it's a simple text, I get anxious about offending or annoying others in some way. Same for phone calls, I get anxious. Since I'm no good at reading the room in general, I have even more difficu...... reply
