Discussion How bad is your social anxiety?

[Ricecel Sungnodius]

Title.

My social anxiety is getting better.

 

[AutistSupremacist]

Not as serious as others. I can talk or interact with management or customers but I cannot form any meaningful conversations outside of anything work wise.

 

[Wrath]

very bad

[Paladin]

Worse than it has ever been

 

[FuckYou]

It’s all good now. I got over it years ago.

 

[chalk son]

a certain amount of irreparable brain damage helps with my agoraphobia but daily lifestyle still dictated by pure depression-based anxiety

 

[FrootWonTho]

[Beck]

i like to say i don't have any and don't even believe it exist but it dose show

i blame it on my ungodly sheltered upbringing

 

[The Judge]

I am basically a hermit at this point. The only human beings I interact with anymore are my family members.

Same. I try interacting with people on Discord, but it’s still really hard for me.
Being Non-NT is a curse.

 

[Tenna]

Improving now that I’m back in college, also I have to interact and commit exposure therapy to make things easy for me.

 

[nachtlieder]

can barely speak to my family

 

[SlayerSlayer]

here's a pro-tip: you can always leave the room

not like anyone cares you exist anyway

 

[Bulbasaur]

I'm low inhib, I'm good like that

 

[Sex-Starved Beast]

Not as bad as it used to be. Social anxiety and ineptitude have been the cause of many problems through my teens.

 

[fullofchagrin]

Worse than it has ever been

same and it keeps getting worse and worse

 

[SpookySpook]

Very bad. ik people can be fake

 

[God's Lonely Man]

Very bad, I isolatemaxx because Im scared of people

 

[Livonica_Irreale]

After leaving highschool, it took me approx. 4-5 years to stop being afraid of being asassinated because i said something that someone didn't liked.
Now i barely care about people, as well as they don't give a shit about me.

 

[kapri]

Insane. Can't touch people, can't approach, can't be approached in any way, can't look people in the eyes, I also start to panic when I get a call/message on the phone or have to call someone myself. It feels like I'm cursed. Even if someone talks to me I think about how awkward I was for the rest of the day. It really does feel like I'm just watching lives of others like a zoo animal behind the glass while they laugh, are scared or fascinated by how fucking weird I am. Having jobs is stressful to the point of losing out on sleep, in college classes I always sit in the back so I can see everyone, and they can't see me and on breaks I lock myself in the bathroom stalls. Also only speak when spoken to. Although the severity varies, it's still completely crippling. How cancer is it for a social animal to be born with a fear of being social. Tell me how that can make any fucking sense.

 

[Vittum]

8.5/10

My social anxiety is getting better.

it’s bad around foids and in front of crowds

 

[Gaelic-Truecel]

Crippling since childhood. Most likely symptom of autism and countless negative memories.
Anxiety meds didn't work, they made me even more socially awkward but they stopped me obsessing over the memories afterwards.

 

[lugubriouseanastar]

very bad

I feel a heart attack coming every time I go outside. I hate seeing people and knowing they’re judging me in their heads.

 

[retardfuel30]

Mine is getting beter

 

[Coyote Cooch]

I'm forced to deal with it by having a job that deals with the public a lot. it doesn't make it go away but it's made it possible for me to learn how to cope/function with it. that said, when it comes to socializing outside of work, I get extremely anxious and avoid it at all costs. it's like the lack of necessity makes it impossible for me again.

 

[Blackpill Monk]

Too much relatable
