Hello
Joined a couple of days whilst looking up information on social anxiety.
I'm unsure whether I fit into the Social Anxiety spectrum. One of my problems is admitting/understanding whether I have a problem and seeking help. It's quite a step to seek the relevant professional assistance. Probably a few of contributory factors to my unease 1) Late with speech development. 2) Bullied throughout Primary + Secondary School with the result that I have no happy memories at all. 3) Severe Acne (Cystic) from Puberty until my early 20's. I avoid family social gatherings, don't like pubs/clubs. The simple way I would describe is like information overload. I just get flustered/annoyed and want to leave immediately. I have the same symptoms at times when I go shopping etc and have to leave immediately. I can feel perfectly fine before but the flight impulse just takes over. Daft things like using busy public transport causes similar symptoms. I have issues with trusting people due to my experiences with people when I was younger. As a protection mechanism can be distant with people. I've kind of cut myself off from people as a result. I've had some relationships but my issues have prevented them going anywhere. I work part-time but not in job which involves lots of public interaction. It's not what I envisaged doing when I was younger but pays the bills. An accident suffered last year has made me kind of evaluate things at this point. |
