Hello. I was also shy at first for posting because of my social anxiety. Anxiety is my thing.
Anyways, if you feel that your diagnosis isn't you, you can try to get a second opinion elsewhere.
You are not alone. Many people (including me) have similar issues. You can try to join a group are interested. Forums are a good place to start, and then try to go to a group outside of a forum? I haven't reached that far really. I mean, I am in a club at my school, but outside, nope. Just remember: it will only get better over time. It's not going away tomorrow or the next day after that, but maybe months or years. Start off small and work your way up. Hope you find the forum here a friendly place [emoji3].
