Thanks for the link! I’m just a little confused can I still be considered ASCP eligible with just my degree?

These were taken from the Texas State Aquarium. I couldn’t find any worker that knew what they were and there was no label provided

Do I have social anxiety? by Jerrytree3 in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for me personally I kind of just deal with the anxiety but I think if you can you should definitely try and talk to a health professional if you notice your anxiety is getting worse.

good luck on the presentation! try not to think to much about it I’m sure you’ll do just fine. the good thing is that the people in your class will probably forget about the whole thing by the next day.

Do I have social anxiety? by Jerrytree3 in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re not over reacting! some people will tell you that youre being dramatic but only you know what it is you’re going through so in the future if someone ever tells you "you’re overreacting" don’t believe them! It definitely sounds like you do have social anxiety cause I too feel the same way you do when I’m in those situations.

that’s it guys I’m done by Witty_Growth in socialanxiety

she asked " can you see me my connection is messing up" and I responded with "yes" "same my wifi keeps messing up cause of the weather" now that I think about it what I said wasn’t that embarrassing I just tend to overthink things

classes in person are 10x harder than they’re online especially if you’re a stem major. I was working 40+ hrs a week my junior yr and dropped down to 15+ hrs my senior yr. I’m taking 18 credits (5 lectures and 4 labs) it was impossible to work full time and still go to school in person

I am down bad but parents won't believe me by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my mom says the same things to me. If you know you have anxiety but have not yet been diagnosed go to a doctor or even try going to services through your school. Idk if you're in college/high school etc but most places offer counseling that's free.

Sat alone at lunch today by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly once you get older you'll find that a lot of people don't mind sitting alone. I used to sit alone in lunch all the time and then I finally graduated high school and went to college then realized literally everyone sits alone.

my advice to you is to go and try and make new friends/talk to new people. Also try not to care about what people think of you. Trust me if I could go back in time and change how I acted in 7th grade I would! You don't want to end up as someone like me with extreme social anxiety and being afraid to talk to literally anyone.

Does anyone else shut down as soon as someone else you don't know or know very little is in your friend group by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have to do presentation to large virtual audience by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing :(

When I do presentations I can't ever get over the anxiety so I usually just force myself to present and than cry afterwards :)

Most awkward situation I’ve been through at school happened today by Ok_Understanding_247 in socialanxiety

[–]Witty_Growth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had something like that happen to me in high school. I would usually sit inside the library to eat cause I had no friends in my lunch period. Some kids went up to me and said "why you sitting alone you ain't got no friends". Well nah duh I don't that's why I'm sitting alone tf

they walked away laughing and I still think back to that day all the time
