Anxious around friends

lavenderLion2361 January 18th, 2022

I have this problem where I get really nervous even around my closet friends. Sometimes I don't know what to say or do and I overthink how I'm acting around them. It makes me feel like a fake friend. I don't know why I get so nervous, because I know mt friends like me, but it's like part of me thinks that i'm not good enough and they're gonna stop liking me or something. It makes me feel really alone! I know it's not true but I can't seem to stop the nerves 😔 Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi, I can definitely relate to that. My social anxiety is quite a bit better now than when I was in college but I always get nervous when I see old friends like if that one visit doesn’t go well we won’t hang out anymore. And I definitely used to feel more nervous around friends, like I had more to lose if people who already liked me changed their minds. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s normal for people with social phobia


what improved that for me was therapy, so I always recommend that. Just talking through my phobia either on here or with a friend helps too, and asking might I be their friend because I am a good match for this group? Might they want me to be around them? I hope this helps!
