I don't really know where to start so here is as good as anywhere.
When I was young I suffered with crippling shyness to the extent that my parents would invite children I knew from school to play with me. Fortunately I had a few board games so that made it easier to start talking to other children. My safe place was writing as I had a vivid imagination which was the start of having panic attacks as a friend found a book I was writing in. She was surprised I snatched the book away and was flustered but shyness stopped me from explaining.
