Social anxiety… ugh!

Does anyone with social anxiety, or any type of attachment-related anxiety, relate to this?

I have problems with things such as making friends, getting into a relationship (I’ve never been in one but badly want one), or just the ability to connect with people. And if anyone has any tips or advice on being able to connect to people, it would be much appreciated!

But, I also have this anxiety that, if I do manage to make a friend or make a guy interested in me (which is extremely rare btw), I get even more anxiety. I get scared that I’ll say or do the wrong thing and they won’t like me anymore, so I just run away from the situation! It’s so annoying, because I want people in my life yet I become so anxious when trying to do so. If anyone has any tips, help or advice, please comment down below! Thank you!🖤

Hi yes I can relate I have suffered the same problem for almost 30 yrs medication helps for its purpose but then it all boils down to the individual to get up and find that inner fight you have to be strong and tell yourself oh well big deal if I say or do the wrong thing big deal laugh it off and just keep going once someone said to me about relationships especially girlfriends for everyone that says no there will be one that says yes so don't give up as regards friends it's not always easy trying to find the right words but hey ho just a little input is best sometimes if it's hard let the other person do all the talking and you just chip in inbetween people are people full stop some are loud stupid aggressive ignorant or all 4 so stay away from those people there are always some nice kind people amongst that lot stick to those if you can best regards terry
