I've been dealing with social anxiety for a few years, not sure when it started developing. But both irl and online interactions make me very anxious. It's killing me from the inside. I'm literally overthinking my intro as of writing this, and I'll probably freak out for a few minutes after hitting 'post thread'.

So I'm here to maybe practice interacting with people? It'd be nice to have someone to talk to, because loneliness happens. I just want to stop feeling like the world's out to get me I guess.

Hi. Welcome. If you can tell us a bit more about yourself it would help. Never be afraid to open up on here. Everyone knows how you feel and there will be no criticism or judgement. Social anxiety is common among the young people so you are far from alone. It is usually down to a lack of self worth which makes you feel 'different' or inferior in some way, which you are not! Everyone is worthy of love and understanding. There are no exceptions. No one is better or worse than you. We are all human and the need to love one another is greater than ever.
Good to have you on board.

Welcome! This is a great place to open up to help with that fear. Anxiety can be overcome with the right tools.
