| I'm here because well I think I may have Social Anxiety Disorder. I'm too afraid to go get it confirmed right now. I've always have been shy but things in my life right now seem terrible. I have a dead end job as a cashier. At work I'm this completely different person. I talk with customers and act friendly. On the outside of work I'm extremely quiet only talking with people I know very well. One of coworkers invits me to go places after work and I always say no(the last few times I said yes I caneled out of fear) I am afraid of making mistakes in front of people, even as I type. Spelling mistakes make me feel nervous. I have no friends and have never been in a relationship with a guy. I guess it started back in middle school. I have a learning disabilty, and the other kids used to say shes in the "Retard Room" or she rides the "Short" bus. I basicly started shutting people out and not letting anyone in, except for my very few friends. I think most of my coworkers think I'm Slow because of how I act sometimes. I WON"T answer phones at work. If I get pulled into the office I start crying, before I even know what I'm in the office for. I am always afraid of losing my job. I'm 22 shouldn't I be having the time of my life instead of feeling lonely all the time. What makes it worse my mother simply believes its just "shyness" and "not putting myself out there" I don't even want to tell my dad about it, just because the way he is. How can I feel confident putting myself out there when I feel like everyone is always judging me on my weight and how smart I am. Really do want to get better, I don't want to keep living like this. Wheh... sorry I got a little long with this but I felt I had to get it out. |

Welcome to the forums ShyGirl
I know how you feel. I hate people judging me and that's why being alone can sometimes be easier. But that's not going to solve things in the long run.
