I’m 16 years old and have social anxiety. I had it for 3 years and hate it. I have no friends at all and want to fit in and live a normal teen life. Can social anxiety be overcome without medication? How do become social anxiety? I want to have friends but I’m too scare and shy to talk to people. Let’s say there’s somebody i want to be friends with and sits next to me. How do I get their attention? Besides asking them for a pencil, what else can I say?
Force yourself to overcome this.
When they are sitting next to you, smile and say hi, tell them your name. "Hi, I’m (insert name), how are you doin today?" If a girl, say hey I really like your earrings, shirt, were did ya get it? If your in class make small talk "man this class sucks or this is so boring". When you talk look them in the eyes (even if you blush) just have a conversation. If you have to pretend they are a sibling or someone you feel comfortable with and just talk.
It will take practice but eventually you will overcome most of it.
I am a senior in high school and I have pretty bad social phobia. I still don’t really have a clue what kind of job I would like.. I would like one that pays good money and where i’m not really in the spot light. I like animals but I don’t want to be a vet cause I think that would probably be to hard for me. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
Get over it. Try running outside saying "I GOT THE POWER!". You will get over it.
