If you live in an over protective home(a bubble) you aren't faced with adversity and the harshness that the real world brings. The result of this is as you get older you tend to hide from things that make you uncomfortable. The only way to get out of this mindset is to be okay with feeling uncomfortable. Every time you don't want to do something, do it. Do the exact opposite of what your mind is telling you to do. Your upbringing has conditioned you to choose flight instead of fight. This is a primal survival technique your body uses to keep you alive, but if over used will hinder your growth as a person. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any breakthroughs

This is very true to a certain extend. The ideology that your parents wrapped around you, especially if you were protected and needed to grow up to a certain standard plays a huge factor in this.

I have pretty bad anxiety nowadays, but part of that is being isolated for two years. You have to expose yourself to people regularly. I’ve lost a heck of a large part of my social capabilities in a short time. I think our stress tolerance can get weak like a muscle that needs regular use and anxiety seems to be the equivalent of a muscle strain or sprain, it’s fragile going from Dormant to medium stress situations. The advice is great because starting out smiling at people takes only a bit of mindfulness and very little vulnerability. You aren’t even putting yourself at any risk of high stress because you can always put headphones on and try it like that walking around in public.

Being isolated and being on the computer/ playing video games puts you in this state as well. When you are in a daily routine of work and home your mind becomes accustomed to an automated way of thinking.
