Dealing with Social Anxiety: Why 'Just Stop Caring' Doesn't Work

Hi I understand how you feel, people always tell me things that they think is helping, sometimes it leaves me stunned and I feel like I’m wrong and I’m the one who should try to do what they tell me it never works,then the same people wonder why I’m by myself all the time.

i feel this :/ it gets to be really discouraging. i don’t even feel like i care that much about what people think, but obviously i do cause i literally have to actively try to stop myself from having anxious thoughts in public or else it just gets worse and i feel like i’ll do something embarrassing. people don’t understand that there’s more to social anxiety than just being shy or whatever, it’s mentally draining and can really impact our lives :( i’m here for you if you ever wanna talk <3
