Hi everybody,
Im new here, Im 22 and from Dublin, its great to have found a forum like this!
It's only recently that I've actually found out what social anxiety is, and it completely describes what Ive experienced over the last few years.
I dislike being the centre of attention, sometimes I will just blush for no reason, feel very uncomfortable in large groups and actually dread eating in front of other people, always feel like I am going to choke or something. There are loads of other things but they would be the main ones.
Sometimes it feels horrible and all I want to do is just hide in my room!!
But just have to take it day by day, its definitely not as severe as it was a year or two ago, I keep pushing myself into new situations and learning from them.
