...yeah I do understand what you mean..in a way people socialise more because of the internet because, say if you did go to the shops etc..you may not meet many people or chat but in that time it took you to go on the internet you could have 'clicked' your shopping and spent some time chatting with friends etc as well..and also on things like forums, here....you get to 'meet' people that you wouldn't necessarily meet in 'real life' and can find things in common and share opinions etc..so it has huge advantages and positives over not having it or using it...but if it's to the extent that you do have anxieties about going out somewhere when you need to, then it is a problem that you need to address...(I didn't mean you as in you btw..just as in people in general..)...
