I Have Social Anxiety

I need to be perfect.

I can't just go out there

with all these flaws.

Everyone looks, I just know.

Everyone looks.

So I need to be perfect.

So perfect that I'm perfectly

fragile and don't speak.

So everyone thinks I'm vain

and...

I guess, the internet is a place for us socially challenged to talk about what we want. Here, if someone tries to judge you, you can just brush it off, because people here don't know you and you will never have to meet them or make...

I've had my own struggles with social anxiety for most of my life.  I always knew that there were some people out there who genuinely liked me and were attracted to me, but I never knew why.  Also I thought that I...

Hi I have or I think I have social anxiety. Here's my story:
When I was 8, my family moved and I had to move to a new school. That's when it started. I was REALLY shy. It got so bad I went weeks without saying anything all day. I...

I have been battling SAD for over 2 years now and with a lot of effort and with the help of some people I have been able to survive without the meds.
But, still there are those awkward moments when I do not understand what to do and...

I tend to isolate. I stay inside. I avoid people in 3D. Feel no one wants me. I am sooo akward. Why would someone want to socialize with me? No one does. Have family who comes when they need something and thats it. Have online friends...

Everyone wants to be liked regardless of who is in the room, but most people have the sense to hide that info. As a child I was extremely vulnerable and sensitive, and to make things worse I would hand over my peers the tools to...

Sometimes it feels like I have imprisoned myself in my home. I avoid most places where I will have to interact with people. There are only a handful of places where I feel comfortable. It is beyond uncomfortable to be around people...

Its logically unsound. I am not in any danger of harm. But the longer I stay in the worse it gets. And I have been inside the house except to go to the convenience store across the street for months and months. I don't when was the last...

I'm must be from a different age because I cannot relate to today. I try but I fail. I've read something about social anxiety and I'll admit I become very nervous sometimes when speaking to others. It’s only because I cannot relate...

I have social anxiety and im too scared to get pills due to my shyness. I havent left my house all week not only because of my shyness but also because I have nowhere to go. I just hate this.

I haven't been on my anxiety meds(clonazepam) lately and I think I'm starting to be more afraid of the public.

.I like knowing the few I work with and my friends but I find myself rejecting potential fun things just because of the...

I'm overcoming my anxiety, and it's surprising. It's been happening in small steps that lead to big change... For example, I now can go to the grocery store on a busy Sunday afternoon without much trouble. This is huge for me!! How did...

I have it too. I'm extremely shy around people I don't know very well. I'll get these... voices I guess you can call them... these thoughts that sound like the people I'm around and they all say bad things about me... "Oh look at...

Its getting outta hand these days. So much that I cant leave the house without being completely insecure about what I look like and what people might think of me. Even if I spend hours getting ready and feel cute when I leave the house...

Its a constant struggle. Anywhere I go, I feel as if someone is judging me by what I look like and what I say. In social situations, my brain goes blank and I will say the oddest things, especially if its someone I find attractive...

I can't remember if I've ever felt "free". Everywhere I go, there is a voice inside me, telling me what the people around me are thinking. "She's ugly", "She's fat", "Look at that hair", "Look at how she's dressed". Sometimes i wish I...

I'm 22 now and I've had s.a.(social anxiety) since I was a freshmen in highschool...uhm, I noticed that I didn't like being in public much because I felt like people were looking at me and judging me. I left my friends and I started...

My social anxiety deals with being comfortable with myself in new or any social situation. I say guitar and sing along with writing my own music. The more I try to explore my confidence in myself the more I find I doubt myself.
