I cant stand being around new people

im about sixteen and ive not been able to hang around new people with confidence nowadays like i'll usually shy away from them and be with people that i'm familiar with instead. if im around people im not familiar with, i'll give an excuse that i have to pee or something and hide in the toilet for a long time.. is there anything that i can do to improve how i present myself to others? is this a symptom of social anxiety?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Dude, i had this too. The best i can say is for you to have a backup buddy. Someone who will be the connection between you and the new people. You may or may not have social anxiety, but this that you said is pretty common on shy and/or introvert people, like myself

    You probably have social anxiety, talk to your family about it.
