yearning for a change

It just hit me a few months back that social anxiety is really a big part of my life and I want to be able to change that, even with the circumstances I'm currently faced with.

I'm 21 and took some time off from school to get my life on track but it didn't work out the way I planned it. Funny how in hindsight you see all the bad choices you made. Now all I wanna do is get back into school and get outta my parents house! Or at least find that road to happiness.

I see now, though, that the anxiety has always been there. While I was growing up I had all my choices made for me so I didn't see it as a huge problem. Now, as an adult (kind of) it's completely affected my social life with relationships and just making friends in general which sucks. I shouldn't have to label myself because I know deep down who I really am. I know my potential but I'm just working through a roadblock. I just want to be able to make that change before I miss out on all the adventures I want to have. You know, that whole independence thing? Anybody else relate? This is my first post on here so I thought I'd go for the jugular :)

I think admitting that you have an issue is a great first step. I'm new to this site as well but I'm learning a great deal from others experiences. It's nice to be in a supportive environment. You'll find out that there are people here that are doing better than you and some that have it a lot harder. It kind keeps things in perspective as well as figuring out which tools you need to grow.

Awesome. Yeah I just joined yesterday so I'm hoping to find some like minded people for support. It's always great to have people with similar circumstances so I can relate and share my experiences with, but also to grow like you said, which is what I need.
