Thoughts
Hi everyone, I've started to feel really worthless / useless , seeing all my friends and family doing things little or small but they seem to be moving forward, I seem to be stuck being this self I don't wish to be can't communicate good, can't get a job can't study well nothing is going good, I have social anxiety issues I can't have a normal fun chat with people and this is so natural for people around me. Well I just wanted to know how to get through this if anyone has been through or knows someone like this.
Hi. Im realy sorry to hear that you are in that situation. Social anxiety is very common situation for many people. The root of this situation is in the childhood, mainly because of not accepting from surrounding. And also I know people with social anxiety. Here on 7 cups you can find listebers which are able to support you.

Don't listen to the bull about it being a childhood issue alone. I'm in the same boat. Thanks to the helpful assessments that are now in place on this site..I have managed to figure out that both you and I are STUCK. To get unstuck though, we have to pay money to access the course. Thus..I'm going to be googling..these things. Maybe it will help you too.
1. "How to improve self-confidence"
2. "How to get out of a rut"
3. "How to stop comparing myself to others."
I found a load of problems are from comparing myself to others. Others only speak about their successes...not their failures..so I get this dysmorphic sense that they're just succeeding and succeeding while I'm sinking further behind. It isn't so. I have to remember..everyone sucks. Just as much as me.
@Benzemamadrid I know what you're going through and I know it's hard, but you're not alone.
I have experienced social anxiety and it's not fun at all. However, here are some of the things that can help you with it; try avoiding drinking too much coffee, exercise more, eat healthy, drink chamomile tea before going to a social event to help you calm down a little bit and bring some lavender essential oils to smell whenever you feel like you're going to experience a panic attack. Also, don't forget to breathe IN and breathe OUT.
Hope I helped a little bit!
