Am i the only one with social anxiety

i get u. same here kinda. i feel so bad when others talk because my brain goes totally blind and idk what to say because i think about nothing. drinking a bit kinda helps me cuz i get calmer and i say some things and i even sound appropriate lol. so btw, i feel like the main difficulty is getting into a group where other people already know each other and it's hard to make ur personality shine, especially if u re an introvert like me. the other thing is not sounding weird, but i guess it's k to say stupid shit if then u know these people more and u actually become friends, because at that point u know each other better. the real advice here is to go ahead and get out of comfort zone and risk and watch those people more and more, at some point it kinda becomes a need to take part in the convos and that will help getting more comfortable

It is ok to be afraid just be yourself and just take your time with trying to talk to new people and make new friends

[b]Hardly.[/b] I've had social anxiety all my life. It's kept me from interacting with people and knowing how to truly [b]be[/b] with them. Then, when I decide to step out and take a chance, and I make social mistakes, people don't understand and judge me and treat me as though I should have known better. All that does is drive me further inward. I wish there were someone in my life who truly understood me.

I can't even take it when someone else is talking on the phone and I'm overhearing it. Lol

I use to feel that way until the implemented the masks. Actually feel more comfortable in them now socially.

I think most people have some degree of similar feelings, we just hide them well.
