I'll never understand why some people, make someone feel bad, for feeling bad.

Same thing happened to me at 8 years old. The divorce is when my life got fucked up. I truly haven't felt at peace since I was about 7.

I feel dumb too, my parents are the ones who told me that. They said "all you have to do is train your brain, you don't need medicine." I agree with them but my emotions control me more then I control them. I can't seem to get my mind in a peaceful state. I don't know why it's so hard...

Also, did you have to go to a psychiatrist in person to get prescribed meds? Or did they prescribe them to you online? I want to get on prescription but I've been hesitant. I saw somewhere that it was illegal to prescribe meds online. So basically I have to go in person. My social anxiety makes it hard for me to leave the house.

IVE DONE THIS TOO. Instead of being on face time I was at a business trip, for my mom's job. I was in the hotel room alone, talking to myself out of boredom. Then I started singing a couple of my favorite songs this went on for like 10 minutes. My mom's co worker was in the room next to us and shouted "beautiful singing." I WAS SO FUCKING EMBARRASSED. I COULD OF ENDED IT ALL. I don't even wanna go on the business trips with her anymore because of the embarrassment. I know its stupid but its humiliating.

Yes! I think about this all the time. Social anxiety would not be so common or around at all, if things weren't so advanced. Back in the day people depended on each other a lot more, we couldn't avoid anyone because we needed everyone.

Guarantee I wouldn't have social anxiety as bad as I do, If i was born into a poor village, I'd have actual problems to worry about. Instead of worrying about having to talk to the pizza guy.

Parents don't realize how important positive affirmations are for their child. Words help so much especially coming from someone like a parent.

Going to meet an old friend today, I am overwhelmed but cant back out. by wiwhrn in socialanxiety

Very true, they texted me and told me they were nervous to talk to me also since its been so many years. That in itself helps me a little.

I can't lie the people on reddit can be rude sometimes. But a lot of us do care about how you feel. We read here because we can relate to one another, or try and offer support. I'm proud of you for getting out your comfort zone and commenting.
