I dont know what to do
I am terrified of people. Its not just being scared, people make me so scared and I find myself trembling at the thought of meeting someone, crying after every interaction, self sabotaging, and never having the courage to speak. I need someone to help me be better with others, especially because I know I can't do this alone anymore. I don't need someone to baby me or tell me how too change myself, I just need help on finding the person who could fix me.
Hello @JoJustExploded 😊
I'm truly sorry to hear about the distress you're experiencing around others. It sounds incredibly challenging, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed by these feelings. Remember, you're not alone in this, and it's a brave step to reach out for support. Seeking help doesn't mean changing who you are, but rather finding ways to cope and grow in a way that's comfortable for you. A therapist or counsellor, especially one who specialises in social anxiety or similar concerns, could be a great ally. They can work with you to understand the roots of your fear and help you develop strategies to feel more at ease in social situations. It's a journey, and it's perfectly fine to take small steps. You deserve to feel safe and understood.
