For those who haven’t always had SA, are you able to pinpoint how/why it started?

I used to be loud as a kid but that all changed when I started secondary school..Over the years I just started getting more and more socially anxious and started avoiding social interactions as much as I possibly could, Even ended up having no friends and not going out because of it..

14-21 years old I was depressed all the time because of SA, Now I've accepted the fact that i might not be able to interact with people without feeling anxious, Have friends or be able to have a girlfriend etc.. I honestly don't care anymore I'm just going to focus on things that I like doing / makes me feel happy.

To answer your question, The reason how it started is because of school, School is filled with bullies.

Let's talk You want to but you can't ! Do you feel like teachers understand your concerns as someone with SA? First job interview tomorrow. Advice? What's up with people posting about how they're cured? how do you "be yourself" if you don't even know who you are? mom gave me the talk once again about how i have no life, how i should stop doing things with her, basically find friends and live my life, but in the next breath she wonders why i'm so depressed all the time. How am I supposed to be a man and have SA? Do you feel conflicted between wanting to bring someone into your life but also being comfy in your own space? Is this being selfish? I don’t want to be alone, but I’m starting to hate being around other people. I want friends and close relationships, but at the same time I’d rather isolate myself and never have to worry about socializing at all. Going to the movies alone? Struggling uni receptionists drove me to a panic attack in front of several people tips for maintaining eye contact? What is the most absurd thing you have done due to social anxiety?
