For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from social anxiety.
What exactly is social anxiety, you may ask?
Social anxiety is the fear of being judged and evaluated negatively by other people, leading to feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, self-consciousness, embarrassment, humiliation, and depression.
Pretty much the story of my life.
Ironically, what used to plague me around people I didn’t know has done somewhat of a 180, and now I tend to be more bothered by this sort of anxiety around the people I actually do know.
Weddings, showers, reunions and work functions ALL add up to the same thing:
MY WORST NIGHTMARE
