Hi,
I think that I have Social anxiety disorder. I always have trouble talking to people. All through school I always was the kid who never said a word. Not that I didn't want to I would have loved for people to start a conversation with me, but I couldn't start a conversation with them. Even when they did they would only get a short answer becuz I ouldn't think of anything. I'm scared to talk to them. I know that they are not going to bite me and I honestly do not care what people think, it's just that it has always been this way. I have no friends and whenever I want to have a relationship with a certain guy, it never works out because I feel like I can't talk to the person. They always end up bringing me around there friends and then I don't talk at all and make everyone feel awkward. It's not that I don't want to be bothered with anyone it's just that I have no clue on what to say.It's hard to explain and I have talked to my mom about going on medicine and she says I don't need it, but I feel like me not being able to talk to people is interfering with my life. I don't think she realizes how hard it is for me to start a conversation with someone. I don't have any trouble talking to my mom and dad grandma close family members, but family memebers I never see I don't even know what to say to them.I guess what I am wondering is does this sound like social anxiety disorder? and how do you go about getting it treated?
how do you even talk to a doctor about it? HOw do I get my parnets okay with me goin on medicine? I just feel like it is ruining my life and I don't know what to do about it. I have 0 friends and /i can't find new ones if I can't talk. I don't even have a job.....my last job I was made fun of I didnt have problems talikng to strangers, but I really could never say much to the people that worked with me leaving me the target to be picked on. SO i ended up being tired of it and then quiting. I haven't worked in a while because i am afraid that the same thing will happen. I just don't know what to do. Does it sound like social anxiety? Or if not what social disorder do you think I might have? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated I just want to be talkative.
