hi there. i just recently became aware that i have a social anxiety problem. i mean, i always knew and hated that i cant socialize and it always seems that people run from me when i get stuck alone with a friend, but i could never put a finger on the issue until recently in a counselling session. i've been reading some posts and it's sort of a relief to see i'm not alone with this terrible issue.
anyway just a brief intro of me.. i am 31 and recently separated. my ex wife became evident to her that she and i would never work (we probably were never right for eachother). i was always uncomfortable with others, and over the last 2-3 years, i became uncomfortable around my wife to the point that it was just stressful being in the same room. i always thought i wasn't interesting and those thoughts led to countless arguements.. she is good at making friends and easily connects with people. i resented her for that for years. even when we would go out with her friends, i would have to drink so much that i almost always did something i would regret the next day. either that, or i would take it easy drinking-wise and just be so boring that nobody would even look my way.
so this is me, i'm trying to get help, i've had this problem for about 12 years now that i think back on it. i'm taking risperidal and seeing a counselor. i know it's going to take time but i hope i can reverse it and get my life back together. i'm trying to be optimistic about this because i think i deserve a good life, a happy life.
