How do I explain my social anxiety to my family?
I have symptoms of physical and emotional social anxiety. I don't want it to move forward, it scares me. I want to be cured. How do I explain it to my family in a simple way? So they won't underestimate me and understand how horrible it is.
I don't know if it's simple but you could try finding articles online describing social anxiety and having them read it. I remember once my mom and I getting into a big argument because she couldn't understand why I react to certain things in certain ways and I didn't have a good way to explain it to her so that night I found a blog post someone made that was able to describe it in a clear way and had a very similar thought process I have so I sent my mom the post and she was able to see things from my point of view for a while.
