I had already suspected that I had social anxiety, I had read about it in many sources and realized that it was highly likely that I had it too. I took tests dozens of times and got mostly high grades. And now that this is added to it, I realize that I really have a problem. When I was little I thought it was just shyness, I thought I would be a good girl and good guy when the future grows up, but I think it will go on like this unless I tell my parents or someone who can help me. I'm not saying it because I told a friend from school and he said to me, You? Are you serious? No, no, it's not possible! he said. I guess he just thinks that because he seems comfortable around her. So I won't tell anyone and I will carry on inside. I already suspected that I had social anxiety, I had read about it in many sources and realized that it was highly likely that I had it too.

I've been dealing with social anxiety for a long time now, and I've come to realize that my greatest fear is being judged or made fun of, that I've come to fear being alone. But the thing is I'm a very outgoing person when I'm alone or with people I trust, like this may sound weird but I can talk to myself like if I were having a conversation with someone. But even when I'm with people I know I can't bring myself to have a conversation or to keep a conversation going, especially when the awkward silence kicks in, I feel as if I failed to communicate. The thing is I also feel as if my friends or anyone, doesn't care about what I'm going through or even care about me, I feel as if when I tell them that I have social anxiety they don't want to hear it or something, that why I tend to keep it to myself. Also when my friends seem to talk to others and just leave me alone, like it's not like I'm possessive of them but it just makes me feel isolated and alone, also when I hear them have a conversation and I want to join in but I can't seem to find the right words or what to say, I hold back. My mind just goes blank.

I do hate being judged, especially if it's because of how I act, I am also worried about how I look and am super worried about how people see me as a whole, I do also sometimes keep quiet when I need help doing work in school, but only sometimes. I do also have a hard time with trusting people unless they're around my age for whatever reason, I also do sometimes feel uncomfortable when talking to my family about family because I'm worried about starting a fight or even a family war depending on who it is. I also try to reply to people as soon as I can but cause I don't have a phone and only signed in on one of my devices, it's a bit hard, I am a Extrovert so I do interact with people but only small groups at best, I'm always a bit nervous when I talk to a group, no matter how small, I'm also always shaking, no matter what and I don't know why, heck, I'm not even around anyone and I'm shaking right now!

Ok I might be oversharing but like I have really bad social anxiety like I shake every time I have to walk to school or when people are looking at me but I decided this year to try and join some subjects that I really wanted to do but felt shy to even try to do. They were music and drama, I always really enjoyed music and loved singing and learning instruments and loved acting and was good at it. Now I have been in those subjects for (Music- 3 terms) (Drama-1yr and a half, now Im performing in front of my entire school doing a drama performance and performing in front of music class doing singing and guitar playing. I still shake every time I go to school and when someone looks at me but I feel more confident and proud of myself for trying to go out of my comfort zone for once.

before i felt i was just an introvert. but it got beyond the limits when when i felt like throwing up every single day in my class, literally it was like hell, I felt like i could not eat, smile, talk and even worse sit around my classmates. i knew this was a problem when i noticed that i dont make eyecontact with people i talk. Now i am taking online classes because of this. I always have this constant fear and anxiety, but i cant even go to a therapist. because my family thinks i am just behaving like this because i want to, but trust me i love people. but sadly i cant connect to them

So I liked being social at first in Primary school but mostly felt different, where others would see a chance to make more conversation, I had no clue. I see that now. Because I work now I'm pretty much forced to be social, not every situation scares me except when there's someone that has the ability to draw attention to themselves by randomly starting loud conversations with anyone in the room. I still get nervous but it's like I'm just along for the ride, I hate myself no matter the interaction I give but I deal the best I can.

I have been considering whether or not I have anxiety over the last few years. The type of anxiety disorder I relate to the most is social anxiety though. I would like to confirm my suspicions with a doctor or something like that, but to do that I have to tell my parents. And, like this video states, I sort of get nervous around them (and basically everyone. I honestly have no idea what to do anymore. I'm pretty sure if I did tell my parents, they would say i was being silly, and overreacting. :(

I struggle to explain social anxiety to people. They say they understand but then get agitated or confused when I dont want to do certain things- like go to an event with a bunch of people I dont know. I literally struggle walking down the hall at work because preparing for how to be or act when a person walks past me nearly sends me into a panic attack. It is so difficult, draining, and isolating to try and get people to understand that in recent years I have just started to give up.

So I do have social anxiety and it wasn't me who found it the one to find it was my primary school teacher who found me really scared socially and while exams and also my palm sweat along with my feet when I get a whole anxiety attack so it really got into my teachers eyes she told my parent and at the end my parent started socializing me still I do have social anxiety: (

Somehow the symptoms I have felt are true I'm actually playing as juliet and it's a wedding scence and I didn't like it everytime we practice I felt dizzy my chest hurts and and more it felt weird I didn't really like it I really want to avoid it many of my classmates paid attention to me so it me tremble and I felt weird but I hid it so that my classmates won't worry about me
reply

I remembered that one time, i went out with my classmate and we were having a BBQ party, somehow, i can't relax while sitting on the party table, feels like everyone is judging my sitting pose then my neck, my back got hurt so i have to always on my phone so i can forget the pain. But after a long while i can't no longer suffer i call my mom to take me home so i can rest
reply

As someone who has social anxiety I can confirm that all of these I can actually relate too, but I just want to say im in therapy and im trying my best to get better! If you put your mind to it, than one day it could definitely happen. Even though having social anxiety and normal anxiety if hard I hope that everyone out there can get through it just like how im trying to! :)
reply

I have this fear of when I eat it public because I think people will judge me for being overweight and theyll say something like Cant you tell youve eaten enough, like just go fast or something? This really upsets me and puts me in the mind zone of dont eat that much in public and yes I show like 5 of the symptoms
reply

I hate having social anxiety. What can i do? Im like this everytime in group of people, and i think i will be stuck here forever. i just cant overcome it. I feel envious to some people who can Socially talk, Have friends, communicate. But me? Uh. I hatr myself Im just a kid and I hate I really hate myself. Ugh nevermind
reply

While I dont think I have social anxiety I think I relate to a lot of the things said here after I know the person. I feel like I push people away from me really easily and keeping long term relationships is really hard especially because I dont think Im a likable person after you get to actually know me
reply

i do have most of it im always looking back and seeing what i should have done and i end up having an episode of staring and just thinking and then people think im staring at them and making then think im weird and some of it came from adults and other teachers yelling at me for little mistakes
reply

ive felt like ive had this for a while because ive always thought that ive been judged or that someone doest like me, or that i get really anxious around alot of people. ive also usually had headaches, being tense and had sweaty palms around people. i also feel better working/being alone.
reply

Thank you so much im almost crying. It means the wold to me. Just know your job has a meaning and it helps people open to others like theire parents. i love waching youre videose and drawings. I can see you have a kind heart just watching your videos
reply

For me I could relate to almost all of these but I do want to talk w people but I cant. Im okay if Im w a group of peopel and the attention isnt entirely on me. Im okay to socialise w anyone as long as I have my best friend who is super extroverted.
reply

I certainly relate with a lot of these aspects, but some I don't. So I'm curious, if I relate to some of these, (such as overanalyzing, feeling like it's impossible to make friends, never ask for help, etc) do I have anxiety or am I just shy?
reply

Yes, and my friends just dont understand how it is and they think I am telling lies. But Im not because they I saying that because I talk to them a lot and I also know that I have social anxiety because I was
Nauseous throughout the day

1: 48 hit me hard. Whenever my teacher lets us play Kahoot, I would purposely click the wrong answer so that my name wouldn't show up on the screen/podium, and I wouldn't have to go up to the teacher to retrieve my prize if I did win
reply

I used to be extroverted and i had no social anxiety but i want to be extroverted because im introverted and im still dealing with extreme social anxiety and it's really hard to communicate even though i really want to i can't
reply

Yes when I am stressed it feels like there's something in my mouth that is not letting me breathe properly I am also shy but is no it's not that because every single day I go to school I get dizzy it feels like I'm going to pass out
reply
