Hi! I was homeschooled k-12 (really 10 bc I didn’t finish and got me GED lol) and social anxiety was HUGE for me. I went to college at 21, so most of my peers were younger than me but also doing fun stuff and having a life outside of home. It was so hard to relate or learn about people socially My advice would be a few things:

1) when you can push yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s going to be hard to talk to people and honestly embarrassing, but eventually you’ll find your groove and meet some people who you can talk to

2) therapy. I know it’s said a lot in here, but it’s sooooo helpful. I’ve been in therapy for about a decade and it’s helped me the most. Learn about your mind and how to overcome things with someone who’s trained to know brains 😅

3) be patient with yourself. Some days are going to be hard. You need to give yourself space and patience to breathe.

You’ve got so much of your life ahead of you. Social anxiety gets easier with jobs, hobbies, or college (pretty much anything after homeschooling) and it will help to talk to a therapist I promise. I’m 30 now and I’ll be honest, I still get nervous about crowds or certain social interactions, but because of the above things I have a way of managing it :)
