Things that make your social anxiety worse?

[oNecoOlazN]

What are some things in your life that make your anxiety worse?
i know i have psoriasis, so that contributes alot to my self esteem going down and wanting to hide myself from others more :roll: .

Things that come to mind for me are, lack of sleep, smoking cigarettes because ive just recently got back my facial twitch, i think due to bad circulation caused by them.

The thought of expecting a panic attack to come on gives me lots of anxiety, which basically enables me to have one full blown. Also people that show an interest in me romantically, even if I don't feel the same way back. And when I may feel the same way back, I don't even know what to do with myself because I become so self-conscious so I avoid it and push it away. Sigh...many lost oppurtunities.

Alcohol, staying up late and eating unhealthy food

I find that when I like someone romantically, I can never stop worrying about what they're thinking, how I look, how their friends think I'm acting or look.. I can't have relationships because of this.

coldness
weed
too much junk food

Attractive women.

It really starts the social anxiety going again, and makes me freeze quite badly. I get embarrassed, and feel like crap.

Nothing else (apart from an angry looking gang) gets me as uncomfortable.

As i have never had a girlfriend, i feel extemely inadequate and upset. It sucks really bad, and there is absolutely nothing i can do about it.

Not exercising, eating badly, the longer I go without leaving the house, PMS gives me AWFUL anxiety for like 4 or 5 days every month, weed.

 

[newbie]

yeh staying home longer and longer makes it worse and its not back until u have to go outside, new people and parties ect ect makes my sp go bezerc

 

[bitingthepea]

My voice i always listen to myself talk not what im talking about !

I have the tiniest gap inmy teeth ever but that gets me right paranoid

and just generally how unsociable i am makes it worse

 

[enmascarado]

the everlasting questions "why don't you talk?" or "why are you so quiet?"
