i don't know what this is. i really need help. i'm to scared to ask my friends because the me on the outside is really different from who i am but i'm to scared to show who i am. i have really bad social anxiety but i never told anyone because at the time it started i didn't know what it was. I thought i had to hide it till i knew what it was but that backfired. while i was unaware at what it was i decided it would help to be with more people, therefore forming my profile as a bubbly, popular, social person. but the truth is everytime i'm with my friends i worry constantly. when i'm with my family i worry constantly. but i can't tell anyone without them saying that's not true because i'm so social. so i hid in my room and draw. but lately it's been to much and i'm having trouble seeing why my friends would want me. All i am is a fake. i've never shown who i really am and i don't know if i'm brave enough to. Should i tell them? or show them this?

I'd say, be brave. If your friends really care about you, they should accept you for you who really are, social anxiety/struggles and all. And also, it might be freeing to not feel like you have to put on an act to impress anyone... you can just *be*. And know that you are loved.
It'll be ok. Be brave.
Replythank you :) I told them and they understood.
