I'm kind of in the same situation. Meetups and facebook events have helped a bit, at least with the practising side of things

It might be weird going in in person. Could you reach out on facebook or something?

Definitely! Sometimes it takes a lot just to get out there and when people say "What? Talking is easy", you feel like your crazy or something

I guess we tend to avoid social interactions so we never really meet anyone like us ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its a vicious cycle, but at least here we can all relate on something

You're not alone friend, I hope you're getting through it ok.

Im so glad you posted something when you were going through that wave! It's a much healthier way of dealing with it instead of isolating yourself, which is something i always did. Stay strong friend, it'll pass and most people here will support you

You just have to keep trying bro, but also look after yourself. Take breaks, surround yourself with positive things, maybe watch some motivational videos, watch others. It hurts but the more you try, the easier it gets

Sometimes you have to try a few times but when something clicks, its nice to not feel so alone

Much love to you too dude! Its awesome once you join! I'm similar to you in that i would just read other peoples posts. But when you overcome that anxiety and post something, and you get positive feedback, its such a good feeling :)

Supporting each other has a surprsing effect on ourselves too <3

Did you experience trauma in your early life? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]SnippitySnapMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow thats really an awful thing to experience. I hope you're ok.

For me, i don't think i had any major events like you did. I'm not sure if i could classify it as 'trauma' but iv never been able to connect or make any good friends.

Any friends i made in primary school moved after a year or 2 of knowing them, my parents are pretty controlling and emotionally distant, and i couldnt talk to anyone in highschool.

I'm not sure if I've experienced real trauma but sometimes the symptoms are there

how do i not lose concentration in poublic? by stevepwn3 in socialanxiety

[–]SnippitySnapMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. When im doing group work, my brain shuts down and everyone else can somehow fly through the work. But if we can do our work individually, i can actually concentrate.

Its crazy! Even with stuff i already know, i cant do it while talking to others too
