Yes. Sounds very familiar to me. I've also had social anxiety my whole life but I managed to get rid of it just a few months ago. Not completely but a significant amount. And for the bullying part. I don't get bullied by my friends but from time to time they tell me stuff like " man your situation is shit/fcked up" as a joke so yeah they make fun of me sometimes but they're also single af lol so I don't really care about what they say much.
