after reading on other websites and this one, im not sure if i have social anxiety or not, so here's my story:
as a youngster, i was full of energy and always happy. i often made people laugh (as most kids do). i had a bad temper for a while, but eventually outgrew it. my dad died when i was five, and i was sad for some time, but that didn't cause any long-lasting mood changes. in elementary school, i had a group of three-four friends that i hung out with almost every day. i was very outgoing with them and in the classroom, and made new friends easily. i also was a classroom favorite among the teachers.
in middle school, i was very popular. i was athletic (basketball) and talked to many friends online via instant messenger. i still hung out with the same three-four friends that i did in elementary school almost every day. but then, within the same week, my grandpa died and i got cut from the basketball team during my last year of middle school.
then there came high school. as high school progressed, i slowly lost touch with the friends that i had hung out with most of my life. i just didn't say as much as i used to. instead of spending a lot of time with those friends, i usually just played xbox alone. i was known as the smart kid who didn't talk that much.
i just finished my freshman year in college. i had my ups and downs, and my grades were less than spectacular (something im not used to). i made a few friends, but only one close one. when me and my friends hang out, i don't have that much to say, and i have this sense that they're getting bored with me or something.
what im confused about is this: am i just growing up? or am i developing social anxiety disorder? if you have any questions feel free to ask, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
