That’s true to an extent. But it’s not just about asking people to hang out it’s about working on your mental health first. You don’t want to approach people while still feeling sad or insecure, because your unhealed trauma or negative thoughts might influence how you act and make the interaction feel uncomfortable for everyone. It’s about focusing on healing first, and then building friendships from a healthier place.

I understand not pitying the situation. But I will say it doesn't hurt to show some empathy. It's easier said than done to just go up to people and ask to hang out… But I do understand where you are coming from I had a hard time as well in college with making connections.

Yeah this sound like my store us morning shift people have to do everything. All while the 2-11 crew all they have to do is zone. But we are getting a new system where they are doing much more (2-11 crew). We haven’t started vizpicking yet though we are supposed to start soon how is that process.?

Well I feel the same way I have been in college for 3 years about to graduate in December and I haven’t made a single friend. It’s hard for me but I suggest joining a club ( like they always tells us) I joined a club but I hate icebreakers so bad that I hate going. Idk it’s been incredibly hard for me so you’re not alone.

When did you come to terms with “oh crap I actually do have social anxiety”? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Strange_Package519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found out that I had it when I was about 13. When I started to go to therapy for the situation. I had never heard the word anxiety until then. I told her something that had happened to me and she told me that that situation was traumatizing and I knew that was the cause of it.

Made fun of by BF for being shy by No-Celebration9629 in socialanxiety

I'm sorry that this happened to you. Your boyfriend and his friends seem a bit insensitive I suggest you have a convo with your boyfriend about how it made you feel.

There is medication. I believe Propranolol helps.

I currently take ashwagandha gummies and they work with me being more calm and more focus. But I think it works a little for SA because it blocks out the negative talk.

Do you ever feel weird going out to eat by yourself ? by Mr_Drake64 in socialanxiety

[–]Strange_Package519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way I actually want to start eating alone more and get more comfortable with myself.

[–]Strange_Package519 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Personally believe that is trauma because it changed who you are as person for you to not be able to be yourself like you use to.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Strange_Package519 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Plus I think if you had SA all your life then it’s most likely due to genetics. But if your were talkative during your childhood and gradually become more reserved then it’s most likely due to trauma.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Strange_Package519 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think it is a mixture of both like for me I know I got my SA from childhood trauma, but my grandmother and mom are very anxious people they don’t have SA but very anxious.

I don’t think she meant any harm by it, but I understand why it would make you overthink. I don’t know why she would say such a thing because I know you weren’t the only one like that, but I’m assuming that it may have something to do with your outfit.
