I'm well out of my zone right at this minute, I've had to sneak upstairs to an empty room at a birthday party.

I bloody hate socialising at the best of times even more so when it's forced.

Not to be that guy but you likely hate socialising because of the avoidance tactic you’ve applied over a number of years and were never taught how to mingle in your formative years.
 
last week bodyboarding in polzeath with a rarther heavy wave as not over keen on drowning or breaking my back (its usually harlyn that scares the hell out of me on a long period swell) ,a month or so back buying 1k of random aim shares (im not much above living wage)
afew years ago selling everything in yorkshire and coming here jobless
 
Think my job has broken me. I constantly want to be right on the edge of optimal pushing my limits so in my spare time I want to do nothing outside my comfort zone whatsoever.

I love the work stress but pretty much need it to function, weekends I just go on shutdown

I've seen a porno that starts like this. This may end up socialising they living daylights out of someone if you're lucky :p

Who teaches people to mingle? I never heard anyone mention it when I was younger.

Well it’s not really direct teaching but more of learned behaviours from parents or an older sibling, if you grew up in a household where social gatherings or outings weren’t a thing it can be incredibly difficult to function well socially.

Some people are just extremely introverted naturally or have other mental disorders that may be undiagnosed, outside of that though I think we all have the ability to function well in social settings but get stuck in the loop of avoidance.

I can bring it on myself still if I spend a week or two with very little contact outside of those close to me, the only thing that’s ever worked was exposing myself to situations that I didn’t want to be in and learning from them regardless of how awkward or embarrassing it was. Pretty much everyone you see who is comfortable around others has had to learn to be that way in some form or other, it’s just a skill that can be honed or one that will whittle away if you let it.
 
I've been going to acting classes at a theatre for a bit now and it's both terrifying and amazing at the same time. It forces you out of any comfort zone you might have had, but you end up having so much fun that you just don't care after a few days. I don't think work comfort zone breaking counts, you get paid to do it, so you do it.

I've never understood this chart. I don't get how being out of your comfort zone puts you into some nirvana category of Optimal Performance. My experience is it's rubbish. One of my previous managers was obsessed with forcing staff to do stuff they neither wanted to do nor were competent to do. It did nothing for efficiency nor morale
 
Can't argue though, beds are awesome and every chance I get to lay in I grasp with both hands. In fact in my younger days I'd stay in bed all Saturday, get up around tea time for something to eat then go back to bed.
