hi new here

hey just introducing myself. just found of what social phobia was a couple months ago. im a senior in high school. i used to be very socialable, but it has seemed like since my sophmore year in high school, i have been gradually getting more social phobic. im hear to get help becuase i woudl like to stop this cycle and get back to the way i was my freshman year in high school. im lucky to have a group of good friends that i met in elementary and middle school that i still hang out with. without them, i dont think i woudl have any social life. for me the hardest part is starting conversations with new people and making new friends. whenever im around my friends i feel very confident, but when im in a class that i dont kno anyone, i get really quiet. anyone have these same feelings?

Hiya,
& welcome
I think most people who use this site will relate to the way you feel around strangers.
Hope you find the help you need.
