I realized that most of my high anxiety growing up was social anxiety. Part of this was my mom telling how stupid I was and how bad my grades were(they weren't bad, high 80's low 90's) and always comparing me to her friend's kids. I realize now that all the times that I missed school due to headaches or stomaches were really social anxiety. I was so worried about how stupid I was and what everyone was thinking all the time. I'm honestly surprized that I didn't have ulcers...lol!
Now, I think the social anxiety is not as bad as before ( I really don't care what other people are thinking....almost never.....still working on it) but, I still have a hard time just being myself that I end up part wall flower part human being. This is with people I'm trying to re-connect with not with new people.
Meeting new people I'm okay with, if it turns into friendship, great. If not it's their loss.
How do you explain or do you explain about social anxiety?
