hiding myself
i've been struggling with social anxiety my whole life, but nobody knows how bad it is. My parents know that i get extremely nervous in front of people. I just would never have the heart to say there isn't a day that i don't think about killing myself. They don't know the true panic i go through. My friends know even less. I'm afraid of having to much baggage or having to be taken care of by them. I don't think anyone will truly understand or take me seriously when i say something is wrong. I just want everyone to magicly understand and not treat me like a freak. I have feelings too.
I have social anxiety too. You're not alone.
I am so sorry for what you're going through. It must feel lonely at times feeling no one else is able to understand you. Just know that we are here for you in full capacity and here you'll find a loving and encouraging group.
My question to you is, have you ever sat your family down and truly stressed the significance of social anxiety and its constraints onyour life?
Regardless, I am proud you have come here to share your story. That in itself is a huge step, and remember: we are here for you. :)
