I think I have Social Anxiety disorder... What do I do?!
Question: For me, I think being like this is extremely uncomfortable... It's hard to be around with people staring at you all the time and i really hate to care about what others think about me... I'm concious about how I look and act and this makes me be even worse.
It's also so hard to talk to people without making it feel awkward...
I think i'm embarrassing. How do I get over social anxiety and how can i ignore other people and what they think about me?

I mean this in the nicest possible way. Focus on the other people around you and take an interest in them. It will take practice, and will become easier when you establish a rapport with a few and become acquainted.
Just remember- the next time you feel uncomfortable, ask somebody else about his/herself.
Be the inquirer rather than the inquiree.
P.s. Maybe they stare because they like the way you look.
i'm going through the same thing right now. i would see a psychologist and maybe that would help and if that doesn't help you and the psychologist can discuss if you need medication and if you decide you do, you will see a psychiatrist. there are numerous medications that can help. i know how you feel. i bet you aren't embarassing at all. you just think you're embarassing bc that was social anxiety is all about. if you want to talk on aim my screename is TheBTPYoda.
Maybe you are pretty and self concious its ok. Look at it this way: you're attractive and something nice to look at so people just naturally look at you. Its human nature babys do it too. If it makes you feel better I go through this too and I have accepted it and ignore people looking at me.
Have you taken a look at The Social Anxiety Institute - http://www.cureanxietydisorder.com/socia...

Hope this helps...
