How do I stop being so avoidant?
It's gotten to the point where I can't move forward in my life and do what I need to get done. I can't even send emails without a week of preparation or else I panic and break down. My parents really don't acknowledge that I can't just do these things normally and just yell at me for not getting things done, my dad especially keeps getting on to me and any time we've had a discussion about me not talking to people he's waived it off saying that I'm able to talk to the few people I've already known for such a long time.

Begin by understanding why it is you are so avoidant.
Feelings are beyond the rational which means it might not be easy to comprehend them at first. Think back upon your life, when did this start? Why? How do you see yourself? How do you think others see you?
If you have some sort of mental disease, however, my advice can only take you so far. Understand that even when it comes to yourself there are things that are beyond your immediate control and get help.
