Really bad social anxiety !

3 Comments

Ever since I was little I've been shy, thought I'd grow out of it but honestly it got harder. I can't say I've ever had a true friend, I have 3 1 whom I meet up with a lot. Life has been hard with bullying and me being so socially awkward but wanting to have friends! Like at times id want to hide and have to push myself. I started doing new things with my old school friend and I got into it. Went on holiday with half of my family I never spoke to without my parents (sounds crazy but absouloutly massive for me) I went out with my friend and her other friends who I don't know and was able to talk to them (kind of) I can't talk a lot I get all awkward... Unless I feel I really click with the person.
I've been taking a class and goin to the gym to try and make friends. I confinded in my aunt and she got me a number of a girl who runs a group for country people. Now I've been to a group like this before and I didn't like it, girls who were snotty and the lads weren't much better I just felt out of place.... And talking and being alone and shy is the worst! So idk what to do.... :(
It's the same sort of group but different people and different place.

:( should I give it a go or not? What if I hate it? How do I get over my anxiety ? I feel like I'm letting my parents down big time :( cause I was happy in my own bubble but it's not natural is it :(

Give it a go 15
Don't go 1
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Get on an antidepressant like Zoloft or Effexor XR. Great for social anxiety. Helped me a lot.

    I believe you should always do what feels right in your heart. Don't listen to other people or do things to try and make other people happy... do what makes you happy and you will find yhe right people and friends... i have suffered with social anxiety for many years and have come to a comfortable place where I have mostly over come it. The world can be a tough place at times but you need to stay true to who you are and follow your heart. Your anxiety will ease over time especially if yoy ate eating healthy and exercising they are great ways to increase positive brain function capacity and increase happiness and confidence. Please try to stay away from medication!!!! These should try to be avoided they are not natural
