What impact has your social anxiety had on your family and friends?
I think my family(siblings) think I am kind of weird avoiding family get-togethers and reunions. But I feel nervous seeing them again thinking they will judge me for not making a lot of progress in my work-life. Some of family members can be quite blunt when it comes to conversation..."Why are you still at that damn factory for God's sake?" I've never been comfortable enough to "come out" and admit my social anxiety to them. Maybe I should.
Fortunately my partner is quite shy too and very understanding of my lack of assertiveness. Well, i guess afew times she has been disappointed I didn't "speak my mind" to some pushy salesmen who were at our front door once. Overall Ok though.
