i am 22 years old and i a have a younger brother and sister
i think i have social anxiety since the day i was born but it was only a matter of time .Both my parents have social anxiety so that affected my personality genetically and also my parents have lots of problems and were always fighting in front of us .they both blame their sad life on each other and regret being married in the first place .besides they are not social and our family is isolated from other people and almost no people visit us
my school days are acually pretty good i was always the first on my school that made people want to be friends with me even if was very shy
in high school i got the second rank and i joined the medical college
and here i manifested social anxiety
i couldn't cope with my colleagues and i was a shy person .i couldn't make relationships with girls even if i am a good looking person .i got depressed and missed lots of lectures . i tried to took driving classes but i discovered i had phobia for driving . i avoided every presentation in college because i cant talk infront of people i lost most of my friends because i cant anxious when we go ontrip together or something and they thought i was avoiding them. i failed 2 years in college becuase of my social anxiety
and now after suffering and with the help of my therapist i finished college

now i am depressed and staying at home .if it wasnt for my social anxiety
i would have became a very successful doctor. now i am depressed i cant go to start working and as u know i need to be social to be a good doctor
everyone around me became better than me because of my scoial anxiety
i lost the best years of my life . i didnit enjoy it and now i cant deal with the fact of me losing things day after day and no one around me understands or really cares about my problems or how i feel . i joined here so can find any one who supports me or tell what i can do

hello, and welcome. It sounds like you have avoidant personality disorder, like me and alot of other people here.
I also dropped out o a great study, as an engineer, after 1 year. It sucks being unable to interact and work like normal people, and it hurts even more to feel unable to live up to ones potential :(
Now, couple of years later Im trying out a new education, cause its easier than getting a job :)

You put a good effort into describing your situation, kudos to you :) I hope you can find support on this site
