Social anxiety: It is the fear of interaction with other people that brings on self-consciousness, feelings of being negatively judged and evaluated, and, as a result, leads to avoidance. I dont really share much stuff about me to many people but I felt like sharing this to many others tonight. I have had anxiety and social anxiety for a while now. Yes, it really does suck and it is very hard to live with. But I never thought I would be so afraid of people or so afraid to go talk to others but I am. My first semester of college was very tough for me. I didnt know anyone, and I didnt have anyone. I spent the majority of my time in my dorm room sleeping or watching Netflix. Most of the time I would not go eat because I was too afraid to go to the dining hall by myself. I just felt that I was being constantly judged and looked at. I know it is a ridiculous thing to say but I just couldnt help it, it was very tough for me Being social is a huge thing you have to do when you move to a new town or attend a new school but I just seemed to not be able to socialize with anyone when I first started here at Pitt State. But, this semester has opened me up to better opportunities to meet people and talk to them and possibly even hang out with them and so far I have been trying to get over my social problems and go out of my way to talk to others and make new friends, and it has been a great start to a new semester. I have gotten a lot of new numbers in my phone, a whole list of texting buddies, people to go eat with, go to do fun activities, even go workout with and it has impacted me a lot. Now I do not feel so alone here and it is a great feeling. I think I’m going to like college a whole lot more now that I have some great people around me :)
