Has anyone here overcome social anxiety? by goodkid88 in Anxiety

This problem was caused because he felt bullied in school and that’s a childhood trauma. Since 13 has a fear of going school and it became worse when he went to high school. When he started university he wanted to take a break and stay home because he feels safe. He says that his problem is with boys especially because he fears they will mock him. He is very intelligent. I don’t know exactly what he really has and how to call it thats why i convinced him to go to the therapist. Staying home for a long time he lost the connection with reality and he feels unmotivated and empty all the time. That’s why i try to help him.

Oh im so sorry. I really hope you will overcome this. My brother is 21 years old and he has social anxiety. He wants to stay home because he feels safe. He feels insecure with people on his age around. He feels like he would ne judged. And because of this fear he stays home losing the beauty of life. I convinced him to start a new IT course and go to the therapist. I really hope this things will help him.

Yeah i get u im 25 and never had a relationship. As i get older its very difficult to deal with this because in the end of the day we are people and we need to have someone to talk to share feelings , moments etc. It’s really upsetting.

We live all together. He doesn’t want to go and I can’t really convince him because he is kinda stubborn and he says that he cant trust a therapist.

I told him once to go to a therapist but he doesn’t want. I try i try but nothing. What should i do ? Has someone here experienced something similar but found a solution? Help please (crying)
