I can't connect with others anymore. I'm so afraid and extremely awkward. I desire relationships but I don't feel worthy. I feel critizised constantly and know Im seen as nothing more than my label. My isolation is to the point I don't even feel worthy online. Ive lost hope for connection.
I feel alone. |

I'm sorry you are in the midst of such a difficult struggle. Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of healing from social anxiety. Perhaps some of the information in them can be of some help:
https://blogs.psychcentral.com/menta...ocial-anxiety/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-4-...ocial-anxiety/ https://blogs.psychcentral.com/nlp/2...uin-your-life/ Also... here's a link to a social anxiety support forum. I'm not familiar with it personally. So I can't recommend it. But it looks interesting: SocialAnxietySupport.com My best wishes to you...

I was like this for a long time. I didn't even know what to say to the woman who'd been my closest friend throughout school. I know it's not much, but I sincerely hope things get better and you can enjoy people again.

As I found out all too well, anxiety avoidant behavior can get you badly stuck (hesitating or procrastinating due to fear of rejection, judgment, failure, etc.). This is true of socializing or any other activity. It can make for a nasty negative feedback loop. Recognizing the problem is important. Please seek the help of a therapist with this if you can't manage more on your own.
