Social Anxiety Blogs

Hey,everybody,My name is Marian,I'm eighteen years old,living in the South of Ireland in a little city called Cork.I've had social anxiety for as long as I can remember nad it's really disrupting my life.I'm in college at the mo,have only a couple of acquaintences and no truly close friends anymore.People always seem to assume that i'm unsociable and just plain don't like people,which really is not the case.I just don't like the dread and anxiety i get before a situation that involves interaction.On top of the nausea and disqieutude i then get potential friends making their own arbitrary assumptions about me and pointing them straight out,calling me spoiled or telling me i hate people which bothers me and makes me even more vastly uncomfortable.I'm a gentle kind of girl and it pains me to be severe towards anyone so why is it people find it so easy to be cruel to me?I'm only recently considering going to see a psychologist to help me out and hopefully my life will have changed somewhat by the time i reach my twenties.You guys,all we need is to take ownership and responsibility for how we feel!
