anyone got social anxiety?

Question

i get tense around new people. i judge myself a lot. u?

Answer

yes it was so bad I almost failed out of university due to it, then I got my shit together and went to cbt and now I am VERY comfortable with being anxious and dont avoid things anymore, and the minor stuff no longer bothers me.

if you are very determined about it....in efforts to completely obliterate this from my life I've now got a job where I must constantly talk to new people. i am anxious every day but in viewing it with the goal of getting better, every time it gets a hit easier.

Answer

I have social anxiety mainly around people in my age group. Ordering for food, asking employees at stores or other places for help, doesn't bother me. I'm also surprisingly very okay with sharing out and presenting. However when it comes to just hanging out and talking to people my age, I feel terrified, I become insecure and afraid of judgement, sometimes I have to hold back tears because I feel so nervous and out of place. It usually helps a lot if I have a friend with me, and I'm fine with talking to people if they start the conversation, but I almost never initiate conversation, it terrifies me. >.<

Answer

Used to have really severe social anxiety (as well as many other things..) and it really fucked up my life badly.. Dropped out of school, lost everything, was hospitalized etc. 
It's gotten slightly better now as I've been able to find ways to get through it and my boyfriend is a huge help. 
But there's always the wondering of what could've happened had I not been cursed with such a horrible burden. 
I don't see myself ever living with out it unfortunately 😓

Answer

I am have extreme social anxiety. I can't do things alone, I like shut down when I'm around a group of people, and I'm constantly worrying about people thinking things of me and looking at me. I'm suppose to be going to Walmart by myself today & I'm super scared :(

Answer

I feel like I am really really awkward when I try to make friends. At my last job there were first time moms that I thought I would be able to become friends with and our babies would have play dates and stuff but no one ever wanted to actually follow through with plans or talk to me outside of work so yeah I haven't made any new friends in a long time and really would love to have some mom friends.  I always also get really anxious in crowds like the mall or any other store or like parking lots. I like goin to the mall but whenever it gets super crowded I'm like no I gotta get out of here I can't breathe

Answer

I have it pretty bad too. I dont get excited when plans are cancelled because, ironically, I'm am extrovert. I love being around people (usually, unless I don't like them), but I just stand there awkwardly because I cant talk to anyone unless they talk to me first.

Answer

Yeah I can relate. This is a daily struggle for me. I always care way too much of what people think of me and it makes me miserable

Answer

Yes. And with my husbands job we move a lot, almost every year. I've lost touch with all of my high school friends and can never seem to make new ones because even when I try, I can never get past the thought that they don't actually like me, they just hang out because they are being polite or they feel pressured.

Answer

I have very severe social anxiety. I've barely made a friend since elementary school and am now 19. Although... It's only in certain situations and I have gotten better. I no longer avoid certain social situations like I used to.
