Social Anxiety

[Jay]

Well at school i basically dont have any friends at all i just hand around near a group of girls not saying a word the entire day at school and i hate it, i hate the fact that i cant even have a simple conversation at school with anyone and i hate how everyone calls me quiet or shy. The only people who i ever speak to are my family i dont have anyone else. I spend most of my time at home in my room daydreaming  just so i dont have to speak to anyone, i lie to my parents and tell them i have friends cause i dont want them to think im a loser or anything 

anyone else with the same problem?

any advice?

I have social anxiety as well. Have you tried seeing a therapist? Sometimes it helps

I have social anxiety too and i have the same problem. I dont have any friends outside of school. I hang out with a group of girls at school too but I feel like a tag-a- long. I stay in my room all the time too but, unlike you, my mom knows I don't have any friends. When I was younger, it didn't bother me as much. But now with everybody having parties, losing their virginity, and having romantic relationships, I feel sooo left out.

hi. i'm 16 and i have social anxiety too. i'm exactly like you.

my social anxiety has improved a little since i changed my hair and started wearing cute clothes. it makes me feel better about myself, so i'm not as scared of other people judging me.

it's still hard for me to be in crowded places or talk to people, so i'm not really sure how to help you there. feel free to message me any time if you want to talk about it, though. i'll try my best to help.

hang in there. it'll get better.
