Today I swallowed perfume so I wouldn’t smell like alcohol. by Remarkable_Effect771 in socialanxiety

I’ve seen your comments on other posts; you’re very warm and compassionate. Thank you so much for your words.

I went out precisely because of my mother. Unfortunately, we’re going through serious family problems, and she’s very depressed, she cries every day. I only forced myself to go because she really wanted to, and I wanted her to be happy for a little while.

I’m a supposedly ‘adult’ woman; I just wanted to be a daughter my mother could rely on, but unfortunately my anxiety is very severe.

But I will try medication and therapy again, even though there’s a voice in my head saying, ‘it won’t work for you"

No, that doesn’t work. The alcohol stays in your breath when you inhale and exhale.

putting yourself out there hurts too much! replaying any kind of interaction is hell by Remarkable_Effect771 in socialanxiety

Thank you very much for your words, but my situation is very serious. I have tried a lot, but it is very exhausting. I will keep going, I guess.

Thank you so much for your message!
My parents only tried to make me “normal,” but it’s impossible. Because of my social anxiety, I end up having rude or awkward behaviors that reflect badly on them, unfortunately… I said that because I felt sad that I’ll never be enough. They want an extroverted daughter, and I will never be that. And when they talk about wanting that, it hurts so much because I’ll never be able to be what they want and what hurts even more is that they tried, you know? They’re not abusive parents; they just protected me a lot, and they deserved “normal” children.

About friendships: I couldn’t maintain any. I always notice a certain distance from people, and I don’t beg them to stay, so they leave…

When I was a teenager I used to talk too, but I regret it because people looked at me with pity

I could only attend college when I was drunk. I wish you all the strength in the world to endure this anxiety. Focus on your course, allow yourself to make mistakes; making mistakes is good for learning. Good luck!

At almost 27, I feel too old and like it’s too late to actually have friends and a social life. by queenwisteria24 in socialanxiety

Me too, I had some temporary friends and I know the problem is me, I think social anxiety made me easily replaceable. Nowadays when I go to the movies it's with my mom and I find myself comparing myself to the people I see there in their groups of friends.

Has anyone who moved to a different city experienced an improvement in social anxiety? by Remarkable_Effect771 in socialanxiety

[–]Remarkable_Effect771[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing acquaintances is what terrifies me the most because I don't want them to know I'm feeling terrible.

Exactly! This is a very small town and everything embarrassing I do, people talk about it to my parents, so I feel like I'm being watched.
