Help :( social enxiety...maybe?!
Question: Help :( social enxiety!.!.!.maybe!?
Well the problem is im fine around family members and im fine around the people i know but recently i have become obbsessed with what people think of me, its so extreme that i don't go to school or when i do i run to the toilets and stay there ALL day because im scared i will embaress myself in public!. I don't know if this is social anxiety but i have also heard of a disorder where you think you look ugly when you don't and i think i might have that because half the reason i don't go out in public is because im worried that everyone will think im ugly and digusting and its so bad i can't show my face and also my friend put a picture of me up on a screen and i started crying because i thought everyone would laugh and say i was ugly, Is this social anxiety, an appearance disoder (please help me with what it's called) or is it both!? xxxxxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Could be social anxiety disorder, or body dysmorphic disorder, or both!. Could be a little of each plus low self esteem, and just being a teenager (which I'm guessing you are!?) can make all of it much, much worse!. It sounds like you need to speak with a therapist to determine where these issues are coming from - did you just recently hit puberty, is there someone in your family reinforcing these thoughts, etc - so you can resolve them!. It takes some people longer than others to develop the attitude of not giving a crap what other people think, and until then (esp in junior high/high school) it can be hell on earth!.

It sounds extreme but believe me a lot of people suffered from this!. It does sound like extreme anxiety!. Maybe you need to go to a doctor and have them diagnose this and get some treatment for you!. Get the help you need so people can see you for what you really are--a good person who is attractive, nice and everyone would love to be around!. Trust me after you get this resolved, you will be back on here telling people you are better!. I hope everything turns out well for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Even the most prettiest of woman get paranoid!. i am constanly paranoid and i am constantly embarrasing myself, but my advice is to just laugh it off and DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK!. if theyve got nothing better to do other than taking mick out of others then they must have a pathetic life!
Many people do have problems with thinking theyre ugly, i think it is a disorder, just like people with eatin disorders look at themselves in the mirror and see themselves as fat!. So dont worry you probly just look at youself being uglier than you really are!. =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

social anxiety most likely and very very low self esteem!.!.!. low self esteem is normal, just tell yourself you're pretty every day
I still have lots of anxiety issues and I thought I was realy ugly (ok I still do think I'm ugly) but I never knew there was people who thought I was pretty, and it's the same for you! there are LOTS of people who think you're beautiful and you'll meet them one day and you'll see that thinking you were ugly was just well, kinda dumb
even models think they're ugly!.!.!. so they resort to eating disorders and PLEASE don't resort to them yourself!!! tell yourself "people who think I'm ugly are just insecure, I'm beautiful and I don't care what others think!"
judging by this you're a teenager, and junior high and highschool can definately make you feel these things it's normal but remember what I just said !Www@Answer-Health@Com

well first i think this is a problem which has manifest its self over time!. u may have been in a situation in your past where something embarrasing happened to you!. but the truth is we all have embarrasing moment, and if you continue to seclude yourself from the public that will only increase your social anxiety!. i also feel as if you are rushing to concuding that you have a mental illness!. these things are things that we all go through in out lives especially as teens; feeling ugly or embarrased!. if you continue to think you have these thoughts, they will lead you to a mental illness because its like after a while your mind is going to react to the stimuli!. my advice, is go out with close friends, feel comfortablewithin your own social group and themventure out and possibly meet some new people!. i dont think its social anxiety i feel as if its a phase due to the westerm imaged forced on our cultures on what beauty is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
