Social anxiety is always a problem, and sometimes can prevent you from engaging with the world in a healthy way. Avoidr acknowledges that this can be a problem, and helps you use tradition social networking tools to find ways to avoid interactions you aren't prepared to have.
The greatest challenge to empathy might be generating empathy for someone who hurt you. The Forgiveness Engine is designed to solve this problem by creating the potential for empathy for a stranger who did not hurt you, but hurt someone else similarly. Stories of forgiveness or apology are given semi-anonymously and then matched together by others by common theme. Story contributors are then notified of a match and given the opportunity to read through the other side of a similar story - hopefully helping them find compassion for the one that hurt them.
