    Social Anxiety?
    I've been wondering for a while if I have social anxiety, I really need to get a job but I don't think I can deal with the people at a work place. I get really nervous and shy around everyone and can't stand talking to new people or even people I grew up with really. I have a weird feeling that I'll get judged. I have a Dr. Appointment set up and I was going to mention it to him thinking maybe he could suggest something? I don't leave my house really unless it's with my boyfriend or a family member either. Am I just shy or does it sound like I have social anxiety?

    I'm not a professional but my ex partner has social anxiety and few of the things you said add up. He avoids going places, once he avoids one place, he avoids it forever. These places begin to add up, its visious cycle. Its all to do with thinking he is being judged. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't mention it to your doctor, it might be worth it.

    There are tablets you can take for this problem but beware, they only tackle certain symptoms of anxiety. You should seek out a therapy too.
