Hello
Hello I decided to create an account after I read a few posts that I strongly identified with.
The cause of my social phobia is conversations with people. When I'm around one of the few people I know, talking about stuff is really easy, but when I am trying to get to know someone it is extremely difficult. I don't have any real friends because I just don't know what to say. I'm even afraid to say stupid things like "Hello" or "How's your day". I'm really not sure why and I KNOW MY FEAR IS IRRATIONAL!! I am often in awkward social situations where I know what to do to make it "not awkward", but I for some reason don't do anything.
I hate it when people ask me why I'm so quiet. And I usually end up saying something stupid like "I don't know" or "I'm not quiet" or even just staying silent.
L'esprit de l'escalier (when you remember something like a clever comeback before it's too late) happens A LOT. I stay up in bed thinking of absolutely amazing possibilities of what could have happened for a certain social situation.
I have always been told by my parents that I need to socialize more often. I realize that and I honestly try, but telling me to do that really doesn't help.
Also, I never say the word "dude". Ever.
