Social Anxiety
The movie, as well as the book, depicts these symptoms within Charlie very accurately because in the book, as well as the movie, he writes letter to an anonymous person instead of talking to other about his problems because he doesn't want them to judge him. In the book/movie he says, "I just need to know that people like you exist. Like if you met me you wouldn't think I was the weird kid who spent time in the hospital. And I wouldn't make you nervous."
