Well I am right and you do have an idea
Brilliant, socialising popped into your mind intuitively and look how you've tried to negate it already, paralysing it with analysis. It doesn't have to make sense - just do it. Get out there.
You don't
rationally resist anything. Your conscious mind will know logically something is ok and safe (e.g. like public speaking, or someone with a phobia will know logically that a house spider isn't poisonous - doesn't stop them screaming and hyperventilating though, does it?).
It's emotions that make us resist things. So your anxiety is making you resist interacting with people. Brilliant. That's where you need to start.
You had a big clue there from your intuition. Your task now is to accept it. Start with some small steps. What do you think they could be.
See I told you, you knew!
Stop thinking, start doing.
