It's important to remember that stress responses vary widely
They said talking to another human being fills them with terror.
Blurry boundaries or not, either you're dedicidng to minimize what it means to feel terror, or I agree with who you're replying to. Bit weird to point the finger at someone and tell them they have mental illness, but it does look like it. Again, if you accept the description, I cannot see how terror would be an appropriate response to a conversation and would prevent someone from leading a normal life.
It would be nearly impossible to have a job for example.
And although it may seem ridiculous to you, there are people for whom board games and Russian literature are pretty stressful and anxiety inducing in the same way that public speaking is stressful for many people.
If you had also included math in your list of frequently disliked subjects, then it might be less ridiculous an idea
