I Have Social Anxiety Stories of Experiences (Page 4)

Until a few months ago, I was unaware of anything called Social Anxiety. But, I’m a natural researcher…so I started looking online about some of my weird quirks and Social Anxiety came up a few times. I often walk with my head down...

i hav alot of frens , ppl know me but the neva fully understand me ,

My high school years were a nightmare. I don't even know how I graduated, no one does. It really isn't worrying about what others think of me. I just get these horrible suicidal thoughts whenever I am in school or surrounded by too many...

I guess compared to some people here, my social anxiety is relatively mild. I can deal with people in an academic or professional setting, when I have to. I'm a full-time student atm, so I can cope pretty well. As soon as the setting...

Ok, so here is my story. I can't believe I'm actually posting this... but i don't know where else to turn so here goes.

About 3 months ago, i started going to a small private school. (I couldn't go to public schools in the area because...

I don't really have a story. I just get scared to talk to people. I have to know someone for awhile before i can talk in person. It seems that because i'm so shy people think i'm rude. I am afraid to talk. I don't know why.

I can't go to school because I'm scared the teacher will bring attention to me and the other students will call me dumb if I don't understand the question and have a panic attack if they stare at me. My grandma's boyfriend who I...

i dont have a peer group and spend most of my time with my family im new to online support and hope you can help me feel less alone
the world feels like it happens around me like im a spectator. i feel like there is a connection missing...

I was lounging on my sofa, enjoying the solace of lazily watching a sushi documentary on Netflix, ... I felt relaxed, and calm (which doesn't sound like a big deal but, I am normally a very anxious person.) I drifted into that half...

Loneliness - Absence of others.
Alone - Presence of yourself.
Which one are you?
I have come to slowly embrace the solitude. That does not mean I gave up.
I still try my best (arguable but I do try) to connect but I'm not attached...

If you can't sleep, might as well write away your worries. What scares me the most isn't death. Death is absolute. you can't escape it. It WILL happen. what scares me is the future, because its so hard to imagine what the decisions you...

I'm a foreigner, It all started in middle school when I was 13 i had friends and everything. The problem I didn't meet them outside school was because my home was far from meeting places and in the country I was in there was no liable...

And I can't breath. I can't think straight since I wander how much if an ass I'm making of myself. I can't control my emotions. I try to think of something clever to say but only gibberish comes out. I can hear the person I am talking...

My parents thought something was wrong with me by 5 or 6 years old. I never sought out affection, and pulled away when someone would try to put an arm around, hug, or in any other way touch me. This had not been an issue, until my...

I've always been very shy since before I went to preschool. All those years which by now are starting to feel pointless. Did I have to live those years? Because to me they seemed like a waste.
For a few months I've been feeling hopeless...

I started having anxiety problems when i was 16. I would have panic attacks at resturaunts and grocery stores. I never really understood why until i did more research. Whenever i used to go out in public places. I couldnt ever handle it...

Since I did not outwardly experience a lot of my life, I'm sure I missed out on many things, especially relationships.

I still haven't conquered this anxiety, and know it affects me to this day. I don't speak up in crowds, I hate using...

I wonder if I'll ever have someone that I'm comfortable with. I feel this awful emptiness inside me that im clueless as to how to fill it up. I long for a connection with someone without having to be drunk or messed up on pills in order...

yes. I have social anxiety disorder.
I cannot bear to hear someone say no to me. So i am afraid to ask for help. Afraid to ask a favor, afraid to command my subordinates.

I cannot argue with anyone, lose everytime, so i just...

I'm married to a wonderful man,
I worry about nothing because tomorrow can worry about itself,
I'm comfortable with the way I look,
Confident in my ability to handle absolutely anything,
Good grades,
Great family,
Loving, supportive...
