my story
i have social anxiety. i’ve struggled my whole life to make friends and maintain social presence and activities. people have never really understood why it’s so hard for me to be a social person and they say i’m just “shy”. having social anxiety is really hard, i’m constantly trying so hard to keep up socially with everyone else i know but no matter what i fall short. people constantly demean my social anxiety by saying i’m just shy of being dramatic. it’s been really hard for me to do a lot of things and it’s been like this for as long as i can remember yet no one understands still.
Don't let people define you. Be who you are and be happy. Yeah, people are dramatic and people wear a lot of faces but be true, true and true
Hi tinker bell, Fellow social anxiety sufferer here! It’s hard and it’s something not a lot of people understand. Have you tried to find any social anxiety group therapies near you? I’ve found them to be helpful. Plus, if you’re getting anxious, you can leave and everyone in the room actually understands!

Hey,
Social anxiety is a common anxiety, and not a easy one to deal with. I can understand how hard it affects our mind and social circles, and life in general. You're not alone. We're here for you
