My sister suffers from social anxiety hardcore. I hate it too because she is such a cool person, but the moment you put her in a place with a bunch of new faces, she freezes up and start having panic attacks. I feel like I have it too in a way, however, it's very minor.......I find myself just overcoming it with ease by just putting myself out there, even though my heart is going at 100 mph.

seems like so many people have anxiety these days. i have it too. wonder why that is. did people always get it like this or if its something more recent what could be causing so many people to suffer from it so much now.

I've got ADHD and social anxiety so I know the feel. Just work on you, and try to put yourself out there. Don't isolate yourself

Also we need to get psychoeducational tests as soon as possible. The earlier you receive intervention the easier it is generally to fix

I'm kind of going through some weird shyt honestly...a lot of it I can't explain but some days I feel like a different person and I overthink everything. I have crazy visions before going to sleep, a lot of recurring intrusive thoughts and weird shyt like that. Sometimes I beat myself up about a lot of it...some of the visions or imaginations I have are fukked up and there are dreams, sights, and ideas that are against what I follow and they kind of stick and it's annoying as hell(you see something and it becomes the theme or you can't unsee, the white bear theory if you will). I rarely leave the house and my brain nags the shyt out of me, at one time I used to go out all the time but now I'm the complete opposite. It's a fukked up paradox, and it drives me insane. But I'm getting there I guess. It's like I'm trying to go back to some semblance of normal.

i feel like my social anxiety could be beat. i want to talk to more people and make more friends but i feel like small talk is something i lack in. but i need to build confidence, go to the gym more, start eating right, coach myself, put more faith in me. i get afraid of seizing the crown. i honestly recognize i do defeatist shyt. and i see it would go away if i wasn't big and had money in my pocket. every bit of a conversation im nervous, i recognize its easier to treat women like dudes in a sense, but when it comes to intimacy i stray away from it. id rather not be in a relationship.
i talk about being autistic all the time yet i dont want to lean on it as a crutch for my lack of conversational skills even though thats part of my difficulty.

I think I’m also struggling with Social Anxiety of some sort. It’s hard for me to strike up conversation people I don’t know/or people I’m not comfortable with. At work a lot of times I feel so alone, and I feel like everyone is outgoing except for me. When we have team meetings and stuff everyone speaks except for me. I just feel like my heart rate goes up when I am within a group of people or thinking of the idea of talking in front of a group of people. I’m more of a one on one kind of communicator. I would like to get out of my shell a bit because I know it would benefit me, but I don’t want to force myself to do it.. I want it to be a natural thing.
