When the doctor said that these children tend to bond with outgoing children, that immediately clicked with me... I have a friend who is way more outgoing than me and I think I do it because he's what I want to be.

i can really relate to what she is talking about, the thing about feeling like dying when noticed a hint of class participation, its really sad, cause it feels like we are leaving hell while nobody notices and everybody look like they are leaving they lives so fully while i feel like im wasting my life completely

i started to tear up at 6:04-6:31 because thats exactly how i use to be in school when the teacher would call on me.it would be simple questions like whats your favorite color?or whats your favorite food?and i would want to answer with all my heart but when i went to speak nothing came out or if something did come out it would be so low no one could hear or understand what i was saying.because of this anxiety i spent the whole time i was in school alone.

I've had this disorder for my entire 18 years. I'have never had friends in person. Only online, I denied that i had it for years, but i do, if you have these symptoms. don't think you're crazy. or just shy. or something. it's not in your control. my doctors appointment is ina month, finally.

@EricHaverpowell sounds like a dumbass teacher who needs to take psychology 101 all over again :\

I hate these vidoes on youtube that say you can get rid of blushing and relating it to this disorder. I have this disorder and take those videos as an insult because it goes as deep as an abyss not just the surface.

Because of my social anxiety I've always sat to the side or at the back of classrooms at school. In my English class during my grade 10 year however, my teacher observed this and purposely seated me at the front of the classroom when he introduced a seating plan. He told me how he thought this would help me. I was so furious with him but I didn't show it and tried to bear with it. I ended up missing 4 weeks of school that semester because of that, and I nearly failed English...

@KingDcome11 i drank 2 beers one time before a speech in college plus took whiskey shots before a job interview once.

@mavs2147 Outgoing people makes us feel more comfortable. Shy people makes us feel uncomfortable. This is what I have understood from experience.

I had an A in french and my social anxiety took me from an A to a D. I didn't show up for my final cause I was suppose to prepare a speech in french ( which is really easy for me since I love french) but just the thought of speaking in front of everyone got a hold of me and I decided not to show up. I just hate to know that so many times my grades have been afected just b.c I can't get up and speak in front of the class.
