Hiya Everyone..
Im Alice and I'm new to this. :)

Its refreshing to see so many people with the exact same problem as me.
Worryingly, I feel as though I'm getting worse. My whole anxiety started off with panic attacks of being in small places, however it has now turned into social phobia. I feel myself getting more lethargic, avoiding going to shops unless I'm being served by someone I recognize. Avoiding situations where I know I'm going to be the centre of attention. It truly sucks. My close friends say "why cant you just think that your amazing and everyone loves you" But as you all know, it doesn't work like that.

Alice. SA has a tendency to get even worse over time. If you're not careful, you may develop full blown Agrophobia. Since you're not at that state yet, try to work on going out more. I know it's tough (easier said than done) but you risk of sinking into a deep depression and having a higher level of anxiety which could leave you stuck in your house.
