In a Rut

Hey guys,
I've been finding myself in a bit of a weird place latley. Well not latley, but just a bit more (I've been attempting to correct my issues to various sucsesses).
Basicly, it all stems back to my school days (grade and high school). I wasent really a social person, so I stayed home all the time I wasent in school. Never went anywhere, never went to anyones houses (sparing the odd occasion), skiped all that by staying home preoccupied with chores. Well fast forward 6 years, and you have more of the same, only my employment has replaced education as the method of getting me out into the world.
Though I have lived this unhappy cycle of for years, I've only recently decided, its time for change. And I started doing minor adjustments to my life, such as eliminating most of the unhealthy food from my diet (pop was replaced by juice, chips and such by vegies and fruit). And that alone, has done wonders for my mood and state of mind. This has gotten me more interested in finding new hobbies, like taking guitar lessons or learning to play hockey.
But the other part of this whole thing was getting out more with people, getting out of the digital vortex and into "reality" (as hman puts it, in another thread). But when I try to make the contact (call/txt/email/whatever), I hit this weird roadblock and can't ever hit "send".
Its always been there, this weird fear of contacting people in person. And I would love to defeat this fear (as its held me back from living life for FAR to long), I just don't know how to even begin.
So whatever advice you have, would be nice.
