how to get over social phobia
or is it social anxiety? is it the same thing? unfortunately i've had this a lot of my adult life, just a fear of socializing with people in case they judge me wrongly, i make a social mistake, or they say something rejecting of me, especially if it's someone i like and would like a connection with....also the problem of not knowing what to say to someone or not being able to think of things to say or chat about? also feelings of unworthiness towards that other person you like.
i come up against this psychological barrier every time i try to interact with people who reach out to me or who i try to interact with , just to say, i have 5 unread private messages on SW because of the fears and problems i mentioned above, ive not read or answered them for weeks and weeks now.....and i really want to read them and answer them, but this ' social phobia' is preventing me.
