i've had it basically forever (SAD) it just never seems that way since im so talkative with my friends. thing is, i freeze when i'm alone, or in a crowd, say at a mall. even if i'm with my friends, there are so many people, so many eyes. i know it's possible for an extrovert to have SAD, because i am, i love being around people but i HATE THE FUCKING ANXIETY THAT COMES WITH IT!!!

im pretty hard on myself. i've done lots of things that most kids would be like "shit, dude, i feel pretty cool now". i've gone on dates, parties, 90 mph car rides. but the anxiety is still there. that negative voice is still there. i think it's what's driven me to horrible depression and *ahem* being hospitilized.

what do i do? i want to live again.

Yeah, I hate social anxiety. Idk, I'm awkward with people I know well but haven't seen in a while e.g. my family and close friends.

Isn't it terrible.  Having awkward silences between members OF YOUR OWN FAMILY.

God i'm pathetic.

I understand where your coming from because I suffer from the same thing. I spoke to my physician and she recommended me to a psychologist, I haven't gone yet but it seems like it may be the only way to get over this.

I used to have it really badly, but it's gotten better. I've put myself in more social situations. I'm in marching band, and while waiting with other bands for competition results and such, it really helped me get over my anxiety in large groups of people I don't know. Mostly it was just simple dares people I knew gave me to randomly talk to strangers. I remember once I walked up to this cute guy and asked for his number because my friends said they would give me ten dollars. He gave it to me and I started talking to him. After that I kind of just opened up. Do it just once, and I'm sure it'll help. Make friends at the mall with the mall rats. Talk to someone that works at your favorite store at the mall about things you like. It's really not hard to overcome it if you put yourself in the situations you're most afraid of.

To get rid of anxiety you have to do the things that you are afraid to do. Like you have to be at the mall alone and go out alone and stuff.

This is a really depressing answer but you kinda have to get used to it. It will be less and less hard after a while.
