The internet said I have general social anxiety disorder, I'm a bit too confused.

Hello, hope your day went well!

 

I'm not sure how to start since this is my first-ever post, but I'll try to make it short 🙂

 

I always feel awful being in a crowd, or talking to a stranger. It has gotten worse to the point where I can't turn my mic on when the tutors ask me to (I personally think it's rude not to do so). Everyone I know has their own problems so I don't know who I can reach out to.

Some say I look like I refuse to socialise with anyone. I always want to, but I feel like every time I do something wrong, people will judge and laugh at me. I'm totally aware that no one will do this, but it still feels horrible to me. This not only makes me feel anxious stepping out of my house but also stops me from finding a job or communicating with anyone.

 

I really appreciate you for reading this long post 😄
Happy to see your shared experiences or tips to get over this! 

Hope you have a great, great day!

 

A little more yapping,

Having a conversation or being forced to interact with people makes me:

  • Feel like I'm going to puke.
  • My who head feel like it's burning.
  • My hands tremble uncontrollably, stuttering, sometimes when it get worse I start shivering. 

I've searched a bit about it but still can't understand how and when this started. My childhood was alright, nothing much happened, my family is great, there's nothing to complain about. I only moved to another country once and lived there since. Living in a completely different place with a different language isn't easy, I actually wonder if it has made me more scared of interacting with people.
