Social anxiety
I just came from a family gathering,but the feeling of being uncomfortable is still here. I'm sitting alone to calm my nerves. Mostly it's just pounding heart beat and my breathing becomes quick when I don't feel ease in social situation. When it's a large group of people, there's this small voice in the back of my mind, telling me to runaway and hide somewhere.

Hey there! yes, I can totally understand and relate to what you are saying, because I was there myself. For me it was the crowd, and I overthink if people are judging me if they are thinking anything about me. Remember you are never alone, a lot of people face this. Feel free to pm me if you ever feel overwhelmed.
Have a nice day! smile more and stay happy <3
@sensitiveSailboat Hi, I understand, I have been in similar situations. It can be so overwhelming that my entire body trembles. Have you ever tried any self help techniques, such as breathing exercises or journaling? Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for the next, so it is helpful to try several things and see what works for you. Also, 7 cups is a really safe place to vent to someone without judgement, or even find a therapist if you choose to. I hope you can find a way to manage your anxiety and take the edge off. I admire your courage for sharing!
Completely understand. Take it day by day. They have some very good self-help tools. It takes time, but like the others said their are people here to help. When I feel this way it helps to come here to talk with others.
