All I ever wanted was to feel confident

[sweettea]

Does anyone else have this overwhelming feeling of just crying when thinking about suffering from anxiety?

[thisisntallowed]

I think social anxiety is the core belief that people are dangerous, and won't be kind towards you.

[ashwinp]

Is it just me that I feel I am judged even when I am alone in my room?

[Mich-zufe]

i can't even write a comment without feeling judged





Edit: gladly I’m not this kind of person anymore

My dad used to punish me for being so quiet and socially anxious. It made it even worse

I have social anxiety, but I’ve never experienced any bullying or anything like that, I get very nervous around friends of friends, and I also get really shy and embarrassed around my close family.... When a teacher calls on me in class I panic and end up stuttering, I’m genuinely very awkward but when I’m around people, it gets worse.

"Anything where they feel they will be evaluated socially." Bingo! Great way to describe this.

[dianas.]

My social anxiety is so bad that I feel like people are going to judge me in my casket when I die...

[HoneyNotbunnie]

I just accept now that i'm gonna be single for the rest of my life. I can't even maintain an eye contact with my friends.

[melissabulicek]

I always feel awkward. I never know what to say to people. I always wonder how people always have so much to say and as a result, have joy in everyday life, even at work. Why was I born different and as a result, depressed??

For people who have social anxiety as myself, we have to also choose which crowd we go into. Surround yourself with people who are good, compassionate and respectful. The root of our social anxiety I believe is developed from a chronic exposure to bullying and criticism, sometimes within the family and peers, this is like giving a child an understanding that any environment is hostile. And as a child grows he withdraws from any social interaction as a protective action that learned during childhood. I wish for you and any other people who suffer from social anxiety to unlearn this behavior, this is costing me of my joy and great opportunities in life. :(

I think people with social anxiety are naturally very kind and empathetic, sure it sucks sometimes but remember to see the beauty in yourself from time to time❤️

I don’t even eat in school. Sometimes I feel like crying because I’m so hungry, And i want to eat, but I feel like people are gonna judge me...
Edit: Guys i got over the fear, I can eat in peace now 🙏

The difficult thing about social anxiety is that you need to interact with someone to get help. If you're at the point where you're experiencing severe social anxiety, how do you get help? If you can't speak to anyone, what do you do? I'm really glad that the internet is a thing and a lot of organisations and companies are doing services online rather than in person. Although in a way, I wonder if that sort of enables the social anxiety? Instead of having to go out and do things in person, people are staying home and doing them online where going in person could be valuable exposure therapy. Maybe if people got together more in person there would be less socially anxious people?

I try to make people who look awkward or nervous at social gatherings feel welcome by just saying hello and chatting with them. My friend Charlene S. is so kind and patient and loyal and forgiving I don't know where I would be without her.

Does anyone feel like when they’re teacher says out there name for the attendance list your heart starts beating so fast and you start shaking and after you say your name you over think it and ask yourself if you sounded too weird or quirky and if anybody laughed or judged at you?

[puevepn]

I was praised for being a quite kid. I always find it so hard to express myself. Even to the friends who I have been with for 20 years
