i have a friend who is always afraid to talk to people , he has just about 2 friends ..and when i asked him why are you isolating your self that way? he said that he fears people talking to him since it may bring bad news ..what kind of bad news i asked ? he said any possible thing that is bad..i dont know how to help him, is it a phobia or what? he is pretty smart but i dont know he just starts sweating and have a very heart beats when talking to people..please help
 
Sounds like a bit of social anxiety. Take him somewhere public like the mall. Get him talking to new people. He has to learn that it is not all bad. He has to gain confidence. You could even draw up some kind of plan where you have a stranger deliver GOOD news!
