i have social anxiety too

i go throught the same thing everyday

and no ur not boring ur perfect in ur own way

but u wont have sa for the rest of ur life

I've had this problem since I was a child and now that I'm going to separate from my parents soon to go in college I'm starting to worry.😪

hello I have the exact same issues as you do. people tend to think I'm rude,because I act unintentionally in an ignorant way or be unable to speak the voice just flies. I really would love to find a solution too

i was just like that as a child too

same i also want a solution

It's just hard to live with it...💣I could never forget all that I've been through because of it🤦‍♀️

so true but most ppl r shy

even if it's not a good thing, i think talking to people who have the same problem makes me feel better... usually i can't even text because i care too much about what other people think about me 😌

yh and when i msg ppl i never call them nor send voice notes only texts

and i hated it when ppl call me shy or when they say i dont talk even though i do talk

I remember that sometimes in the groups, the other students tend to forget my presence...😶

yh the popular girl forgets my existence

ppl in my class only talked to me for hw or answer etc and then ignore the rest of the day

same for me... I would have liked us to talk about our passions: music...sport... but no one spoke to me and because of my social anxiety I couldn't start a conversation ... i felt isolated.🥲

same here

b4 the class starts we have to do devotion. we start by singing a song. i barely participated in stuff. a girl said "let somebody that doesnt talk sing a song" the whole class looked at me n i wanted to faint. i picked the song and while i was singing ppl were laughing at me. it was the worst
