I think I have social anxiety. what can i do about it?!
Question: I think I have social anxiety. what can i do about it.?
I am extremely shy in front of people. I always wait for others to talk to me first. I am too embarrassed to talk in front of more than one person at a time. I am embarrassed to call my own friends to talk or ask them if they wanna hang out- i always wait for them to call or ask me first. I am embarrassed in front of my extended family (aunties, uncles, grandparents, cousins). I find it hard to make friends.
Do you think I have social anxiety, and what can i do about it.?
My friend is starting to get upset with me because I never call her and I always wait for her to call me first. I'm just so worried about calling at the wrong time or if shes busy, and then making a fool of myself :( Does anyone else worry about things like that or am i just weird.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
I don't think you have social anxiety. Perhaps just anti social.
social anxiety is when you avoid crowds.
Going to the store is agony. If you have ever left a cart full of food in an aisle because you were too overwhelmed. That is social anxiety.
If you fear going into Walmart because of all the people inside, Social anxiety. Would you go to a school dance.? How about the fair.?

From what you are saying, you don't seem to have social anxiety seeing as how you talk to people and hang out with them if they make the first move. You seem to have some self-confidence issues. You should learn to be more outgoing. Forget thinking of what others might think of you and do the things you want to do.Health Question & Answer
Sounds like me except for the part about calling my friends.....which is why I always text message =)
But I am becoming more outgoing as I get older, I've noticed myself being more out there than in the past. In your case has it gotten better or worse.? If it's becoming worse, you might want to consult a pro about it, maybe advice about becoming more outgoing to help get over it.?Health Question & Answer
