Shy Kid

Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's a fear that does not go away and affects everyday activities, self confidence, relationships and work or school life. Many people occasionally worry about social situations, but someone with social anxiety feels overly worried before, during and after them.

I thought when I was young I was just shy so I didn't want to socialize with people, but it might be social anxiety.

Many people experience social anxiety that they don't know it's social anxiety because they always hear from people that they're just being "shy".

This is not the whole story about how social anxiety ruined my life.

I will write more about my life experiences in the coming weeks.
