What do you wish others (who don't have social anxiety) knew about you?

well i have social anxiety and one thing i wish people could know about me is that if i am not talking to someone , doesnt mean i am rude and not interested

people with social anxiety often find hard to mix in people and initiate or properly carry on the conversation

but since others cant read my minds, i often come across as rude or a guy with a lot of ego which i am totally not and nothing i would love as much a fun conversation

I wish they knew that mine is not only shyness. I am frightened by the crowd. I am fucking frightened by the world.

i wish that people knew it was an actual condition... and i wasn't being a drama queen or over dramatic and i wasn't "faking it"

I just wish they would realize that I can't control it. That if I could I would have the anxiety surgically removed.

That sometimes, just talking to them is a chore. Especially if they're not being supportive of your mental health.

I wish they knew that I am strong. That when I cry, I'm not weak; I'm not looking for attention when I run out of class barely able to control my fear. That they knew how hard it is to control my anxiety, how hard riding the bus to school is. How hard I try to keep from curling up into a ball and blocking the rest of the world out. More than anything, though, I wish they knew that I am not my anxiety.

I just wish that people wouldn't think that I didn't know or english or continue to tell me about me not talking because it really stresses me out and they can't understand that I'm mute. I just want to be left alone, to not be stared down at when I enter a room.

I wish people could understand that I'm not just being a moody teenager. People tell me to socialize more but they don't understand that it doesn't work like that. I also wish people understood that I'm a nice person who likes having friends and who has an actual personality. I'm just not good at showing it because of my anxiety

I wish people knew that it's terrifying (at least for me) to have to talk or hang out with big groups of people. And that when I ask them to hang out I'm only asking them and not them and all there friends, I hate when I get the courage to try and hang out with a friend and they think it's okay to invite friend that they have or that we have in common because they want me to make friends.

I wish they could be patient enough to understand that it takes time for me to open up ...i would love to be more sociable but it's not something that comes easy
