The fear of Moving on and meeting new people

As a child I have always had this fear of moving on to new things. Like most people I like things the way they are and I dont really want things to change. People tend to not believe me when I say this because they think that I am such a people person and because I know so many types and kinds of people. But im here to tell you I fear moving on.  I do have a great personality once I become close to you but I don't want to become close to a lot of people. My girlfriend can attest to this, I criticize almost every new person I come across. Not because im mean, I am an ass hole, but because new people make me uncomfortable and when ever I become afraid or uncomfortable my technique of dealing with it was to crack jokes and thats what I do.

I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who has a problem with moving on meeting new people. This topic came up because I was thinking after graduation I will probably have to move away and start a life in another city somewhere and have to meet new people. Now im not saying that I cant do it, because i have done it many times before and people tend to like me, im just saying I dont like to do it and dont look forward to it.

I think this may have all steemed from the moving around and different schools and stuff as a child. Or maybe I just dont like people that much. If you have any opinions or experiences dont hesitate to comment.


Im going to leave you with this joke:

A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing down the highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. 

Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures "what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over to the curb. 

The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says "Listen mister, I've had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a good excuse and I'll let you go." 

The man thought for a moment and said... "Three weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer. When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought that you were the officer and that you were trying to give her back to me!"
