Social Anxiety
Im new here. Does anyone have some advice for me? I have Social Anxiety wich is making my life very hard. I cant talk to people normally because some voice is always Judging me and I cant do anything about it. I never feel alright after a conversation, even if its just something like "Hey, do you know the time?" If it gets worse, then I can forget about my future, but I dont want to talk about that too much. I dont even talk to my own family anymore. Does anyone have some advice?
@Someone000000000000000000 Welcome to 7cups. It's been life-changing and supportive for me here and I hope that you get the same experience. I’m really sorry you’re feeling like this! It sounds incredibly tough. It’s really brave of you to share how you’re feeling, and just reaching out is a great first step. With social anxiety, that inner voice can be so loud, but it doesn’t define you or your worth. One thing that can help is reminding yourself that most people aren’t focused on you the way that voice makes you think. I want you to know that you’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to take your time. If talking feels hard, maybe talking through your feelings in a safe space, like here at 7cups, can help too. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough.......better yet, that's more than enough.
