Since childhood, I was shy and anxious, could not defend myself on my own, could not resist negativity, had a weak mentality and was a very sensitive child. I was bullied in kindergarten and I remember resisting my family to not go to school for a month. As the years passed and I entered puberty, my social anxiety levels increased and naturally I started to avoid more, lock myself in the house, distrust people who were not very close to me and panic more at the first interaction. Being ugly is among the reasons for this, but I see that even those like me do not have such serious problems. I did not experience a very serious trauma, it is completely genetic (my father also has autism and anxiety). I cannot do anything socially alone because I get stressed in most cases because I think I am being evaluated negatively, which causes panic attacks, but when someone is with me, I feel self-confidence and comfort, as if I am a defenseless warrior on my own. Do antidepressants work to prevent these extremely negative thoughts (especially those who really have social anxiety and have tried these medications can inform me?)
