Anxiety

[Panicatthehorizon]

Hello,

I am about to be heading off to college and as someone who suffers with insane social anxiety, this is incredibly painful and terrifying. Does anyone know what i can do to ease the anxiety?

Take a step back, depending on the college you're going to, it's most likely that you'll be just as nervous as the others And be able to blend into the crowd pretty easy. Try not to be late or too flashy maybe the first few days until you settle in. Get to know a group of people that can give you that extra boost of confidence, its like high school. Everyone comes freshman year terrified as hell and by sophomore year they're pretty settled in. Get to know the place and you'll inspire confidence in yourself. And even if it seems easy don't give up and quit or miss classes.

Another thing I find useful is having an excuse. In high school, wearing new clothes, drawing certain things, even going different places at break I felt like I had to have an excuse so make your own excuses.

If someone seriously outright asks you why you're doing something, and it makes you feel insecure, have a list of excuses planned such as "my grandma gave it to me" "trying to find the right classroom" "had to take my dog to the vet" they usually won't ask past that point. Makes me feel so much better.

This is the best advice ever !

Also , when you have some friends , try and talk to someone about how you are feeling . You will be surprised how many people actually have anxiety it’s crazy !

You are okay , you can do this !
