Hi, I have REALLY bad social anxiety and I don't know what the heck to do. It's paralyzing me there are moments where I break down and cry because I want to bond socially with others and I know it annoys and embarrasses my friends when I'm socially awkward but I can't help it. It SUCKS knowing your the PROBLEM all the time and you second guess whether your friends actually care about you or just wish your never around because then everything would be less awkward. It's Frustrating because I wish someone could understand the pain you go through with social anxiety, it's no joke.
There are times were my close friend invites me places but I make up an excuse because I know that someone I don't know is going and I'm just gonna be very uncomfortable and stressed from not be able to socialize correctly. So now my friend believes that I don't like going anywhere which is not true I LOVE hanging out and I LOVE socialization and it's hard and stressful when you love those things but your body doesn't know how to act accordingly. It's like you want to say something but there's a wall that keeps blocking the words and characteristics you want to show, so what build's up is frustration and pure sadness knowing the authenticity of who you truly are can never be revealed because your a prisoner in your own body.... so you to me how the hell can you fight yourself.

You can get help for it. I don't necessarily have social anxiety but generalized anxiety, perhaps. Reasons as to why i don't go anywhere any more is due to the fact that I end up getting stalked everywhere I freakin go.
ReplyI used to be super socially awkward but I looked up youtube vids on social skills and I sometimes do anonymous online chats, to improve my social skills. It seems to sort of be working. Of course, you can't get actual experience until you talk to real people. Walk up to a stranger and say hi, because they don't know you and you can make a great first impression on them. You can also use them to practice your social skills without telling them, like a practice friend. That way they can help you be more confident in general.
