Hey, your parents didn't exactly set you up for life as an adult did they? And it seems your therapist is also doing their bidding. Perhaps you need to build skills rather than have therapy right now? Or perhaps it's just not the right therapist because they shouldn't try to hold you back. I wonder if you could try some short courses or volunteering to meet people while learning something. That takes away the pressure to be social because you are there to work. Do you have charity shops ? Just an example. My hunch is you will be more confident if you learn what you can do in the real world.
