I Have Social Anxiety

I have pretty bad anxiety when meeting new people. I even have anxiety online, I try to be nice but like I trust no one 100%. I always imagine the worst case scenario and imagine what someone is thinking and I always feel like everything bad is my fault in some way.

It sounds like overthinking. I would focus on trying to always be aware of your own overthinking and don't let it influence your actions too much. It's a good and bad thing so don't hate it, but also don't be extreme about it.

@Reject Ive been more open and trusting, but like it hits me hard at random times

@Kanimaz You've made some progress then, that's good! If you feel yourself beginning to do that. Try removing yourself from anything you're doing and take some time to relax. Being aware of it is really big deal. Simply knowing when you're doing it will help you stop it.

I'm the same way about trusting people. People always will stab you in the back at some point.

@Kanimaz I agree. I even told my best friend I trust not even him. Nothing against him. He's a great guy and we've been friends for 11 years. But just I have very serious trust issues. Btw message me if you want.
