I am scared to talk to people. I know I need to talk about my problems but I'm actually scared to click on a listener and talk. Is that anxiety? This is horrible!

Hi honest :) . From what you have described, it does sound like anxiety. Are you able to identify how you feel and the thoughts you have in these situations?

Hey, I have the same problem as you. I have social anxiety and I'm also afraid to click on listener and talk. I know how hard it is to talk to people when you have anxiety and I wish you good luck. I hope you can start to feel better.

You just took a HUGE step by posting this out here. The fear you have, of judgement, of someone not understanding you. It is real, but you were brave to post your message here.

I hope that the same bravery that you needed to post here can also have you contact a listener. Take care, and again, great job!

I have been dealing with panic attacks since I was in the 8th grade, I have developed anxiety and social anxiety as well within the last 3 years. Some days are worse that others and some days are better. However I have found a way to cope and control my anxiety and panic attacks at least to a certain extent. And although I am not 100 percent cured It has helped me out tremendously and I am starting to get ahold of myself.

I hope this helps somebody out there out because it is something I have wished I could change for nearly 10 years.

Take a look at anxiousreview.com

It is an excellent read and was very helpful to me :)

You gave us really small details about your problem so we can't think about thatare you anxious or not.

I use to deal with the same problem as you. I was so nervous and afraid. I was afraid I would bother or annoy the listener and that they would judge me. I'm a listener now, and I can safely say that we want to listen to you. We are here for you. We understand your anxiety, and we will do our best to help you feel comfortable. If you want to talk to someone, feel free to message me.
