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!

For some reason, I feel like you've told me this just to give me some kind of goal, and not because I'm actually right :P
But it's true that logic sometimes prevents us from doing stuff too. Conforming to society in some aspects, for example.
