 🫂  same. 
 A DJ with social anxiety is a weird conundrum. 
 Not really. I'm a total social butterfly, but I prefer to work at parties, than mingle, so that I can sit off to the side or stand behind a bar or something, and people come talk to me.

Need them to form an orderly line and not mob me or force me to sit in the middle of dinner table with 20 people. 😅  
 I have  a similar oddment. Stand me behind a desk - having to meet 100’s of people I don’t know one at a time and I’m all good , actually loose myself in the need to be present and really enjoy it. Now put me in a room of 20 with no order and I’m a nervous wreck, actually loose my mind 🤷‍♂️ 
 Outgoing introverts have it hard. 😅  
 Maybe you were attracted to DJing because of it. You get to attend the party and be involved, but still apart. 
 Doesn't have sick moves, but is a sick moves generating machine 😂 
 My husband is both a DJ and a computer nerd, so I get it. 😅  
 No totally understandable, it’s the one way you can enjoy a party but not have to deal with people! 
 Exactly, I've known two like this! 
 It’s pretty much how I got involved in music.
