I think I have social anxiety disorder?!


Question:

I think I have social anxiety disorder?

Ever since I can remember I've always been different. I am 26 years old now and I'm still suffering from this terrible thing. School was the worst I never had any friends or just 1 really close friend. If we had to read a report in front of the class I would either get a 0 and not read it or I would and no one could hear me and I would be blood read and my palms would be sweating like crazy. I always wished I was normal like everyone else. And now that I'm 26, I now don't know how to talk to people b/c I never have. It's weird b/c I'm amazed at how people can just start a conversation. I can't do that and I wish I could. I can't go to a restaurant and eat. I get so stiff where it's hard for me to swallow my food. If I go anywhere I always stiffen up and walk like a zombie. And if I'm at a party and I go to pour myself a drink I shake it's so embarassing. It's almost like I don't like people to hear me talk. With my family I'm fine. I talk loud, I have fun, I'm funny.


Answers:

nah. you're just very shy. maybe someone in ur childhood made fun of you in public or something so thats why this happens. lots of people are like this. stop paying attn to those stupid pharmaceutical ads that only want to make money for themsleves by trying to convince you you have some kind of syndrome.
why dont u go find a hobby, a passion. something u can do for hours but feel like minutes.
join a club with that passion of yours. its always easier to talk about that passion with someone then start a convo out of midair.
you could be a loner also. nothing wrong with that. you get along with your family, which is the most important.
maybe start a club on the internet: Loners R US and u can be president:) a club full of loners hmmmmmm would they be called loners if they became all friends?
