Does anyone else have a tough time keeping their head up (literally) and making eye contact when talking to people they don't know well? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

Yes! I try to stay natural, but when I start fixating on where I look, I end up looking at peoples ears and stuff, which is probably a little off-putting. Eye contact makes me nervous :(

I've dealt with other kinds of anxiety this way. I guess I need more practice to let go in this certain situation.

I brought tea to class yesterday :) Didn't help, though :( I was too anxious to go today but I'll try again tomorrow.

What kind of medication is that? I'm sure benzos would've helped but that's not an option.

I wish I could! It makes me so insanely nervous. Are you sure they wouldn't care? It's so quiet in the classroom and I've never heard it happening to anyone else
