Social anxiety
I have college today in few hours, I feel very nauseous and anxious right now, as the time passes by, my physical self and mental health feels worse, it's really getting harder for me to breathe (I'm okay, just anxious).
Today's first day of my college and I don't know anybody there 🥲 I'm scared to be judged, and made fun of, for who I am and how anxious I'm feeling.
@virtue22 Hey there... We're here for you...Social anxiety can be very challenging to cope with...Your story matters to all of us and Yes, I may not be the perfect listener for you but please consider this when you feel left out or alone...
1.Remember to always ask yourself:"What's more important-to fit in with people who's values are different from mine or to stay true to myself?" And NEVER change the good person you are just because people want a different you.
And again steer clear of people whose speech and conduct reflect poor values...
If you don't fit in with a certain group,it may be good to step back and examine why. If the problem is that the group doesn't live by your standards or expect you to change negatively then you can feel glad that you don't fit in
And yes with social anxiety it's not easy but please TRY not worry too much about fitting in. It's better to spend time and energy on developing qualities that will make you a better person. If you are kind to others, the people you would want as friends will get drawn to you.
Good luck and Please know that you are Amazing and you Got This!...we're here whenever you need help
