i've been seeing commercials for social anxiety and wonder if i have it also. i definitely get shy when i'm around new people or in new places. i get some/most of the symptoms that the commercial shows. i think it also stems from some self esteem issues that i have. i always think that people stare at me or are judging me all the time. i don't want that to sound conceited at all. i have to remind myself that people aren't staring at me and even if they were, they won't remember me. i think my self esteem issues come from (this is going to sound stupid...) not being liked by many guys when i was younger. i think i'm alright looking. i'm not ugly, and people do tell me i'm pretty. i'm trying to work on it and i have a wonderful boyfriend who thinks i'm beautiful. i'm always going over what i say in my head to make sure it sounds alright, because i don't want people to think badly of me. i'm going to look into some of the medications and all of that in a bit.
