Fun fact: many years ago i was on a social anxiety forum

I went through the same situation. I would always get accused of making up my suffering by counselors and support groups. I'm always completely calm whenever I seek advice. Everybody else would assume that I was only pretending because I wasn't making a huge scene when I sought help. Another significant aspect is that my problems were seen as too small by the people I was seeking help from. Therefore I was accused of faking my suffering in order to get "attention". I have complete sympathy for you. Best Regards
