So today I had a barbeque with all of my friends. I panicked and had alot of anxiety this was the first time I have been around many adults in a social setting my own age although I did enjoy it I had alot of anxiety and I was really nervous to the point others noticed and pointed it out. I have to keep doing things like this so I can become more comfortable. It was hard though trying not to feel bad about my first outing.

I’m sorry you felt that way. I get really bad social anxiety too, even around family. People don’t seem to understand why I get nervous around family, but I do. I was once diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder.

Not giving a ■■■■ helps a lot, just do whatever makes you happy even it it feels strange to other people.

Anxiety here, specially when voices are picking on me, telling me everything I say is wrong, that everyone hates me, etc etc

Give yourself credit for going and trying your best. Maybe we can build our self esteem by giving ourselves more credit. Just be patient, it might take a while. Give yourself credit for posting on here too.

Thank you because I’ve been playing everything over and over in my head on how it went and its eating at me. I did the best that I could with all the anxiety that I had. I know I’m going to be labeled the weird and awkward of the bunch but it’s okay I can take that.
