I can not even leave my house because I am agoraphobic. Yes SOME people can overcome it with therapy but some cases are more severe than others. I avoid social places so there for I have social anxiety but does it mean that I am shy? No! I have a panic disorder. Many days I try to make my body move ahead of my brain but it trembles out of my control. Talk about medicne all you want to but muscle relaxers really help. You will also find out that people with anxiety have more muscle spasms etc

@MsNeoDraven I dont think they should call it social anxiety because we dont just get nervous in social situations.... many of us get nervous anytime we are around people in general! It should be called people anxiety lol. I feel a sense of shame... but i dont know exactly what im ashamed of... i dont experience this feeling all the time but sometimes i feel uneasy and a sense of embarrassment when im in church around a lot of people or get on the bus. Fear of being judged

I'm a 17 year old black girl, currently a junior in high school and my life couldn't suck any more if it tried. I have selective mutism, social avoidance personality and suffer from chronic depression. And worst is that i'm in a dance academy program. I used to be bullied A LOT in middle school and what made it worse is that my mom used to work at the school, so the kids, as you can imagine, were unrelentingly cruel towards me. God, I hate my life.

I'm black & I have it, but people of all races can have that and I've met a few who have.

Love this topic you made. I myself is suffering from social anxiety myself and I'm trying not to because I'm pregnant and i'm trying stay healthy and stress free for the sake of my baby. But no one really takes the time to talk to me to understand why I'm stressed out and depressed. You are so dead on as far as the older generation acting like it's not a problem which it is which is why I can't even talk to my mom because she's so old school with her ways.

@MsNeoDraven I also have social anxiety disorder and what makes it so bad is that it does not end with strangers but carries over to my family members. i stay within my shell unless responsibility calls and i just have to focus that with the mentality of failure not an option.
