This one isn't really a thing not to say but a thing not to do... pranks and jokes are funny yes but people with social anxiety feel self conscious and a prank could shatter their self esteem! I know this. When I was 13 one of the most popular boys was dared to speak to me and stuff so came over and started talking to me and being friendly. And me being the stupid person I am, fell for it! It got so far he asked me out. That's when I figured out it was a prank. Some of you guys out there may find this funny but it's not! Not at all. I went home crying and didn't go back to school for a week and when I did I got tormented about it. I have nightmares about it (and many other things) every night!
It would be hard for anyone to go through this but for someone with social anxiety it can make them develop a phobia of similar situations.
So if you're thinking if doing this... just... Don't....
