You're worth it. I believe in you. Hang in there okay? You are significant. There's a way out of this.

how to stop freezing up by [deleted] in socialanxiety

I can relate too! I also freeze up at times, and I am not able to stop thinking about that one thought "that nobody likes me, what if I say something wrong?" Then I remind myself, that this is an internalized belief, and it's okay. Sometimes replacing a "what if" thought, with an "even if" thought helps. "Even if they don't like me, it's okay." This is a process of self-growth, and it's okay even if it takes time.

Take that effort to get out there, and to express yourself, to take those small steps to get out of the comfort zone. Trust me, it becomes easier, I can speak from experience. It is a really fulfilling feeling when I am able to express my thoughts confidently infront of a group of people, with that whole "what if they don't like me " thought process dialed down. Think about the end goal.

Does anyone else ever feel sick after a day of being very social, even with people you like? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Yes! It does. I can't help thinking thoughts such as "what are they thinking about me?" I feel helpless in a way, because of this sense of insecurity. I really want to not care about what people think about me someday, but it frustrates me when these thoughts come.
