I'm having similar symptoms to the girl right now. I use to get good grades and I'm pretty popular and have no issues with communicating, in fact i was told I'm good at it but I've always felt like I didn't belong. Since the covid-19 started the symptoms actually started affecting my life, all my grades are down, my irritation of sounds is more noticeable, I shut off the world, I get scared or anxious when I'm in a room with another person. I dont know what I'm doing wrong. It really suck because I don't even know the proper name for my issue because I'm too scared to go to therapy. I just want somebody to specifically tell me step by step on how I could be better.

I think it’d be best to maybe get checked up, i have a similar situation, I was so used to going outside, being extroverted, hangout with friends at school and being in an environment with people that being alone in my room during this pandemic has made me feel a lot more anxious and nervous for no reason. My communication skills also got a lot worse (especially talking in public) i also never reply to messages nor talked to my friends (I didn’t hate them or anything, I’d reply but usually days or months after they sent the message). For now I’m trying my best to reply to people, and also I’m trying to get to know myself better, I also plan on going to a therapist some time this month. sorry, I’m not sure if this is helpful but I wish you the best of luck!!!!

Well if you don't want to meet the therapist directly, how about giving a call to them.. it's easy.. and they'll understand your situation and online payments are being done now, so that also won't be much problem.. but if you feel that there is something wrong with what's happening to you, please talk to the therapist.. do a research first who are good and who can talk to you on phone or on chats as such..
Real great depiction of actors who gets too into their role. I've heard someone get a role a their brother dying and they manage to convince themselves it's real despite not having a brother
