shutterbug,
This is a real big issue in my life. I have been doing a whole lot of isolating. Even during the holidays, I only got out when I had to. I have a whole lot of trouble answering the phone when people call. Then I feel so guilty, because I'm afraid that I will hurt someone's feelings if they found out and when I don't call them back. These are people that I really love, but I just can't make myself pick up the phone. I'm in a real pickle with this lately. I'm going to have to make myself start calling everyone back tomorrow and I've got to work on getting out of the house more. It's really an issue for me. My son made the remark to my daughter yesterday that he was glad that she gave me some new pjs because I needed them since I tend to stay in my pjs most of the day now. I've really got it bad and don't know how to break out of it this time. So yes I can completely understand what you are going through.
