Hi everyone.

Hey everyone, I'm Sean and I'm new here.

I've always been shy, but for the past 6-7 years It's really gotten bad, and just yesterday I realized I have social anxiety (I didn't know there was an actual classification for what I had, I always just thought there was something wrong with me, I've never met anyone who acted like I do)

I don't really talk to like anyone and I really am worried about where this is going to take me.

So hello everyone

Hi Sean and welcome!

Hopefully you'll see there are plenty of people in the same situation on this board. I know its helped me to know there are others out there going through the same thing.

See ya around

Welcome aboard Sean

And dont worry, if you make the effort you can stop your SA getting worse, and take steps to slowly overcome it. For me it's all been about baby steps

Nice to meet you, Sean! I used to think I was just really weird, too. In fact, when I first found out about social phobia I didn't think I had it, I still thought I was just really weird. Now I know that it really is what I have. It's always nice to find out you're not alone.
