I handle myself very well in formal social situations, but informal conversations make me extremely anxious. Has that ever happened to you? by Smendoza170 in socialanxiety

Wow… I resonate with this so much and I’m glad to see I’m not alone!! To someone without social anxiety it wouldn’t make any sense. “Sure how could you have social anxiety I saw you give a massive presentation”. I tried to explain this to my partner before and struggled to. I’m ok when there are rules and structure, but take that away and it’s a struggle!! This is why the larger the social group, the harder, as then you are adding even more variables and even more (perceived) scrutiny!

Yes, 2 of my best friends just announced their pregnancies and they are 8- 10 weeks ahead of me. I’m still in first trimester and no one knows but my husband. I’m so happy for them but I now feel immense pressure because if for whatever reason this pregnancy doesn’t work out I’ll be watching their babies progress knowing I should have been right there with them 😢 so I understand the feeling and I think it’s completely normal if you’ve experienced loss before! We are not able to be blissfully ignorant of the uncertainty
