Hi guys,

I think I have a mild condition of social anxiety.

I dislike being around strangers and people I can't click with.

I feel exhausted easily from social events. It feels like work for me to communicate with people.

I'm quite selective in talking with people.Some people I feel ok while some I don't

I tend to be overly self- conscious . Afraid of what Im saying will hurt that person or might not be up to their expectation.

I would say I behave differently around diff people.

AM I normal?

I've been having this problem since small.
I talk to alot of people.
But I still have this problem.

I have group of friends in elementary school.
After graduation, I left that group.
Same goes to high school.
Now I'm left with very few friends.
Isolating yourself from the group gonna hurt you in the future.
I know cause I lost a few really close friends because of my problem.

People change and they come and go.
I guess we'll just have to find new ones.
But I still miss my old friends.

That's one of my problem!
I now look at their mouth or nose.
When I'm nervous, it's easy for other people to notice.
And because I'm nervous, they get uncomfortable.

I'm not depressed but I was bothered to a point where I would watch u tube and books for motivational stuff so I can improve myself.
Turns out they're not useful.
But I realize that the longer I spend with someone,the more comfortable I become.
But to certain people,I cannot communicate at all despite the efforts I put in.
*shrugs*
I guess this is me.
Gotta accept the awkward me.

yea I have this problem of overthinking what people think of me.
But I will try to be inconsiderate and dont care what people think.
