thank you for sharing
My social anxiety has really improved as well. I used to think something is wrong with me, and didn't understand why no one is talking to me. then I realized I was being indifferent and made people think i'm a snob or something. but i'm just super shy and anxious. I finished high school so it's too late, but hopefully I'll find a chance to make great friends in the future.
You will. And you'll get past it, too. You were worrying too much about how others perceived you; maybe you still are. Don't worry about that; just be the best person you can be, and the right people who are meant to be in your life will come to you and become a part of your life naturally. Reach out if you need to talk.
talking to the guy I like is so hard
Luckily he's super sweet and easy to open up to it just really sucks having to initiate a conversation and express my feelings
It also sucks to have to present in class
Yep. Since i was at least 8 or 9. Im 26 now and its still a significant problem for me. I have 0 friends in real life and stay at home unless i have doctor visits, or family events to go to. I also have PTSD and depression. My medications make me a zombie. And i always feel like such a loser. Lol
ugh I hope you'll get better :/
I'm stuck at home all day as well with literally zero friends

This is completely relatable. On some days when I'm talking to a lot of people I feel like the most socially active person, then other days I'll lock myself up and trick myself into believing I'm condemned to a life of loneliness. For me it's all a matter of perspective and learning to cope with such feelings. I'm open if you want to talk or have a little chat, I may not have the solutions but it's always nice to have someone to talk to

This girl in my class whom I considered to be my friend just quit school and didn't even bother to tell me. I actually thought I could count on her. It make me feel abandoned. The others don't talk to me that much.
My social anxiety doesn't make it hard for me to speak to people. If anything I'm fairly outgoing and have made lots of friends. In University I was very much the partying social type.
My problem is that I overanalyze the opinions other have of me. It's like when I'm in public out walking I tend to think people are drawing negative conclusions about me for whatever reason. I've always had this problem but it's gotten pronounced over the last year. I try to tell myself that I'm looking too much into things but it really doesn't help. I'm just waiting until tax season so I can get myself a car.
