His social anxiety is suppressed only by alcohol. He rarely talks to women when not intoxicated.

Raj is a friend of Sheldon and Leonard's. He likes girls but is too shy to talk to them, except, as it turns out, when he is drinking. If he is sober, he is unable to speak when a girl is in the room. He sometimes talks to his parents back home in India over the Internet using a webcam.
