Do you have social anxiety?

Question

Answer

Not diagnosed, and not severe, but I definitely appreciate my alone time and keep my social circles very small

Answer

No friends & don’t leave the house unless I can stay in my car, I’d say yes I do. Or a major attitude problem. Probably both! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

I meant to hit yes. I don't like going out anywhere because my heart starts raising I feel awkward and start getting nervous. It's hard for me to even go outside and get my mail. I don't have any friends or family here where I live. It's hard for me to keep a conversation going and when I do go out I feel like I'm being judged by others and so many thoughts are running through my mind I just overthink everything & I hate it.

Answer

My psychiatrist thinks I have anxiety and judging by my response to social situations, I probably have social anxiety. 
When I’m around people, it’s hard for me to relax, I’ll sometimes shake or tense up, I have trouble moving and speaking freely, my mind will tell me how stupid I look or act and that everything I’m doing is wrong, and when I go home, I replay the stupid moments over in my head until I hate myself. Even though I have friends, I feel lonely often because it’s basically impossible to be myself. 
Judging by the poll results, everyone thinks they have social anxiety, but I guarantee it’s not as common as that. If you think you have it, please see someone who can diagnose it.
