The first thing that you should NEVER say to a social anxiety sufferer is: Why are you so quiet or Speak up, no one can hear you. Just basically telling them to speak louder or something like that. now with me this is really frustrating because i developed social anxiety disorder from being told to be quieter or to and i quote shut my big fat ugly mouth and let some one else talk. so they told me that and now in the middle of class they ask me (really loudly, so loudly the whole class turns and looks at me) why are you so quiet. I mean, come on!!! putting me on the spot isn't exactly going to make me be any louder! so if you have ever said that to someone who you think might have social anxiety disorder then just don't.............
