Honestly, I've been socially awkward my entire life. I guess as I've grown up I've gotten more insecure and nervous. I lost my sister five years ago due to suicide, and before that I was so happy, I would put on high heels when I was younger (I'm a guy btw) and dance and everything lmao. Like everything is such a mess, and sadly I think I'll be anti-social for the rest of my life..

Edit: and I got cyber bullied a couple years ago, saying I should bang myself with a rope, and that my singing voice made people's ears bleed, so that's definitely made me not want to follow my dream of singing.

I'm so sorry sistren. Hopefully you will recover from that, but look at Demi Lovato. She had issues and overcame them too. Now look at her, all sexed up and pretty as hell.

so many sad stories

girls that's nothing wrong with being an introvert/feeling socially awkward at some situations
it's sad how society puts extroversion as the right way to be, like parents apologizing for their children's shyness and etc... this is the root of the insecurities introverts have

I think the moment you accept you're this way, this shyness/introvertion is just a little part of you (and not a negative trait) you start to feeling better and letting your insecurities go

you were born this way baby

I think this is a really nice way to look at it.

If we are really talking about SAD, it's not working. What you said is what everyone has done before he/she starts using internet to find help. Of course a psychologist can't be affordable by everyone but it's the best solution to find what causes him what he feels.

It depends on how serious your anxiety disorder is, but most cases are helped by facing it head on.

Most people can't do it because of the way they think. They think something bad is going to happen and that's when your fight or flight reaction kicks in. Most people choose to run away from it. You have to change your way of thinking. It's not easy and it takes a lot of work, but it's possible to be able to get it under control on your own.

I was always very shy in elementary school. I had friends and people I talked to but I kept to myself for the most part (I can be a bit introverted at times myself). It wasn't until middle school that I started putting myself out there and forcing myself to be more engaging with others. A lot of that shyness went away and I remember finding myself becoming TOO social eventually.

I tend to get very stiff and become an "ice queen" in new places

I try to remind myself when it happens "shake it up, relax, become comfortable"
Self-awareness helps

That's none of their business. The worst mistake you can make is building your self esteem off the opinions that other people have of you.

Subconsciously guilty of this at first. Still very difficult to avoid doing.

Just be confident in yourself. If people don't like you, then don't **** with them, make new friends.

Confidence is key in not being awkward. Confident people can say anything awkward but it looks cool because they have that level of confidence. Just believe in yourself and not let anyone's opinion of yourself change that. Of course that doesn't mean not having some introspective abilities, but if people don't like you for reasons you can't change than **** them. If people don't like you because of something that you can understandably change, then try to change it (being smelly, talking too much, being lazy...etc)

Somebody let me know because I'm still awkward as hell myself
