Does anyone else have this problem with conversations?

...See more Hello! I've got this issue that's really got me scared of interacting with people and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. Please let me know if this is in the right forum/format or if I need to do something with this thread. So I have a difficult time with social interaction in the first place, and then if I actually get comfortable talking to people I get too comfortable. My inhibitions just sort of vanish, and I feel all floaty and dreamlike and it's like I can do or say anything. I say things that I really shouldn't or I start trying to hold people's hands and stuff. And then afterwards, I "come to my senses" and realize what I've done. Like once, I started going on about how much I hated my job. To my coworkers. At my job. Another time, I was talking to someone online and started telling them all sorts of very personal and inappropriate information. I've also acted very strangely with my roommates and I'm lucky they still tolerate me. It's really messing me up. I work up the courage to try talking to people again and then I embarrass myself and make them uncomfortable. I have to find a job but my fear of this happening again is holding me back, and I'm scared of meeting new people for the same reason. I've never seen anything describing something like this issue before and I don't know how to deal with it.
