Wow, it's hard. But good to know others feel the same. I'm in culinary school and we have to mix for the tastings of the demo lessons, I sit alone and pretend to text. It is painful. Also no joke as a male, I find you very attractive, sad you had to suffer...

@DNASigil95 mk, enjoy living in fear for the rest of your life then.

@DNASigil95 you need to raise your self confidence/self esteem get rid of your social anxiety instead of just coping with it finding techniques ect. if you really want to know how to destroy it and get set on the path to extreme self confidence, send me a pm.

ur too cute to have social anxiety >.> dont take that the wrong way. ive been dealing with this crap all my life, it really sucks :( ive been trying to push myself to socialize more with people but it feels like it gets worse every time and sometimes i even humiliate myself by choking on my own words when i try to talk. Oh well. Beast of wishes to u.

I took risks and I still do. It's hard to go into social situations and force myself to interact with others; especially people I don't know, but I do it. I just went to a wedding with 100 or so other people. It was so noisy and I felt so uncomfortable and self-conscious. Had to go to the bathroom or outside a few times to escape for awhile. I'm a good-looking 28/yo guy and it's NOT over yet! I'm not blaming myself for the missed opportunities in my life.Message me if you want to talk!

Hey, i saw so much of me in this. I feel like hugging you.

I feel for you....I am 50 and I still have social anxiety........not many friends or relationships.....real depressing

@sarienewolf Thanks for your help

@DNASigil95 it's hard... but the best thing i can think of is potentially confront her about it. Its a hard thing to ask if you have social anxiety, one of the hardest things to ask. but its the only thing i can think of. I wish i could do more to help you, or think of something else that could help.
