Adding on to my last comment, I found a website where people talk/share stories about this. I find it helps to read the forums

This defines me.
I went to 3 different doctors in my life for this problem and did medication and everything. It did not help me.
So I guess I’m just stuck with it.
i think i might have a mild form of this ..lol.

S.A.D.
Ya man I feel yah. Im 18 and the same way. Im at school and im put on mute and I avoid social interaction. I use to be the loud and obnoxious kid and then it all changed. After watching this I think ima go to the doc and tell him whats up.
I use to be a very obnoxious, fun and happy person. I had a bad experience smoking hash one time and I lost my mind. I think it triggered the social disorder and I have been suffering from it for awhile now. I avoid social interaction and I can’t make eye contact . To get to the point, if you think you have this disorder i advise you not to smoke the trees.

very interesting. awesome
I really don’t wanna be always so quite in class .
I have no friends. Maybe 1. But i really need to have better social skills..
My anxiety has been going on too long. Since I was little. Mute always in class, known as the ‘quiet’ girl.
Missed my whole adolescence because of this.
I think I have this problem.
I’ve had this disorder since I was around 12. Before that I was the perfect student. Star of the wrestling team, made nothing but A’s, had tons of friends.
Almost overnight I completely changed. I’m now 23 and still live with my mother. I’m too scared to even try to get a job.
I’ve taken many medications, including SSRIs, and nothing has worked.
For those of you suffering from this illness, PLEASE try to get help as soon as possible. I’m starting to think it may be too late for me.
Me too. Who does want to be shy? Nobody. It’s getting in the way of reaching my goals in life.
I don’t wanna be shy anymore.
try looking for a fucking job….god ive never felt more pathetic
