I have met a person I think have social anxiety. I'm a 33 year old male with social anxiety. Some days is so bad I can't even leave house.
At work there is a girl, who don't talk. She have the same face all the time, she never shows any expressions/emotions, she avoids eye contact, and keep for herself. She often sits alone or with one other person at lunch. I'm pretty sure she has social anxiety.
I am just shocked, how a young beautiful girl like her can have anxiety. With her looks she could have whoever she wants.
I have been trying to be nice to her, but since I have anxiety myself, it's hard to talk to other people. I always says hi to her when I see her, and she does say hi back. When I see her at breaks, I use to go sit with her at the same table. However we don't talk much. She have not giving me any indications that I'm not wanted, so I do think she likes that I try to talk to her. But what can I say to her? I very affraid of doing something wrong, offend her or hurt her feelings.
I asked my psykologist today if It's ok to give her complains about her looks, but she reconnemended me not to do that.
If I told her she has a beautiful face, do you think she would get upset or mad at me?
I'm not in love with her or anything, but she's really good looking, and I want her to have better self-esteem. I want her to feel better. But what can I do?
