I'll third that. The original poster described me to a T. I've always been shy and reticent around people, but since I started working at home 15 years ago it's gotten 100 times worse. I'm a hermit now, also. I know I have a genetic tendency toward this, but I believe the less time spent with people the less comfortable I am with them. It's a matter of keeping those social muscles exercised.
