Answers:
Everyone get anxious in social situiations!.
Some just hide it better, or don't let it bother them so much!.

Some however keep trying and get more comfortable as they gain more experience!. As they get more practice they are better able to know what to do in social situations and put their foot in their mouth a little less often!. They also get more practice getting over the emotional distress when they put their foot in it!. Eventually if you keep on trying you realize the world does not came to an end every time you do something wrong, or upset someone!.

Somone else eventually upsets your friends more and you become their best friend again!.

Just keep on picking yourself up and getting on with life and it will eventualy not seem like the end of the world everytime you fall down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are not alone!. However I would suggest practicing one minute at a time going into social situations even it is for a minute or two at a time!. I am not against medication but I would try other things before I try that!.
In our society unfortunately we jump right to the taking of medication before anything else!. I believe we need to try other things before medication, especially when being as young as you are!. This is just my opinion and I don't know all the circumstances!. So take what you like and leave the rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had chronic depression/anxiety since childhood!. The medication prescribed for you is Paxil!. This med does not work for anxiety, it is an antidepressant!.

For depression I take Prozac, for anxiety I take Valium!. I have been seeing a psychiatrist every 3 months for 20 years now!. The meds are of great help and I'm thankful they are available to help treat my conditions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

me!.i'm 20 but i think i have social anxiety for ages ago!.i only know about it recently!.i did see a psychitrist and he prescribed me with dogmetil and roche!.i just take whatever he gives me!.SAD is really sucks!.i'm scared of public and scared to go to work!.i can't even answer the door!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the medication you're referring to may be Paxil, I don't have social anxiety, but I do have panic attacks which are horrible if they happen out in public so embarrassing, rest assured you're not alone and you'll get betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have it really bad when i was your age!. I still have some now, but I don't let it stop me!. They didn't prescribe drugs much for it when I was that age!. I pretty much grew out of most of it and learned to work around what was left!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sixteen years old and I'm trying to get help for it!. I just need to break it to my parents!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
